Okay guys... tell me your experience with Big Shot gloves. Which model do you prefer and why? I've tried many, many gloves and have liked a lot of them, my problem is they all seem to last me one year at the most. I've tried to use a tab (I shoot 3-under) and I just don't like it. I'm a glove guy.
Figured I'd try to buy one that hopefully will last much longer. What do you think?
I've got several of the big shot and have always liked them. But several years ago a friend gave me a crossover glove that he didn't like and it became my favorite. I bought a second one last year as I like it that much. It takes years and years to wear one out
I have 3 , two kangaroo crossover gloves and one Elk big shot from the original owner. I use all 3 depending on the bow. The last crossover I had them put leather instead of plastic inserts in the fingers for my lower poundage bows. My one Kangaroo crossover is almost 10 years old, for $20 they rebuilt it last spring. I have a large hand but smaller fingers, I ordered one size smaller and they made the straps longer at my request. They aim to please.
I have an Elk Bigshot that I have not shot more than a couple hundred arrows through. I like the nylon fingers tips, smooth release similar to the nylon facing on my tab. Also, had them make a Kangaroo Crossover with the inner layer of Buffalo instead of plastic. It also has had only a couple hundred arrows through it. I really like these gloves for extended shooting sessions, but prefer to hunt with the nylon tab. Of the two the Crossover is probably a bit nicer. Don't foresee wearing these gloves out for many years.

I have three of their gloves. My favorite glove manufacturer by a wide margin. I like them all, but I'd rank them:
Standard Crossover, or Kangaroo about even
Big Shot
I've had my Kangaroo Krossover for ten years. It barely shows wear. They are pricey but do last.
