Hey Zach, I have enjoyed the one I have. If you have tried a big shot the dura glove will allow you to feel the string more. It is great for hunting but if you shoot alot during a day you will need to get used to the string pressure on your fingers... atleast I did, my fingers got sore quicker with it but I think my accuracy was better with it. Hope this helps. For the money I would say try one out.  :wavey:

I just sold mine.  They have a real nice feel and slick release, but I found I like a heavier glove - keeps my ring finger from getting numb.  If you like to feel the string or shooting lighter bows, you will really like it.  I'm trying a Big Shot next for my tender fingers.

I've only had mine for a few weeks and so far I like it. It has a very smooth feel to it on release. I like to feel the string when I shoot and this glove does that for me. I would recommend this glove to anyone shooting 50#-70#. Anything less than 50# and this glove is just too thick IMO. Overall I think it's a great glove for the price.

That is the only style glove I shoot.  I have tried the big shot glove and the supper glove and I just cant get used to not being able to feel the string as much.  I keep trying new gloves and I keep going back to that style.

I've worn one out already, but bought 3 more. The cordura will fray, but  you burn it flush and keep shooting. At $19 they are a real bargain. I got mine from The Nocking Point.

I shoot the Grizzly Premium gloves, which are pretty much the same.  All the comments above are right on, great string feel, super slick release and a great value.

It's all I've shot since we got them, and we've received a ton of positive feedback from folks, they just love 'em too.

They allow you to feel the string just enough, but give you plenty of protection with a good release. I use mine at 57lb @ 28" and my fingers do not get sore.

I've been shooting the Big Shot, before it, I was shooting a Damascus. I'm looking for something in between. I like to feel the string, but a little more protection than the Damascus. Is the Dura Glove what I'm looking for? If not, where can you buy Damascus gloves with long finger stalls? Thanks, Jr.

I like the "skookum" glove better.  Feels slicker on the finger tips.  I seem to get a better release.

I haven't tried the Dura glove, but I love my Skookum glove!

Not trying to get off the subject, but the Skookum isn't recommended for bows over....55#, I think.  Takes the slick stuff right off the tips in a short time.

The dura-glove has the long finger stalls.
