Need some help gents.

I need to find glove that works well for me so all recommendations are welcome.

Shoot in wet conditions a lot.

I really like Damascus/ OMP glove for string feel but after shooting several times in a week for long sessions the tendons in the groves get very sensitive/painful.

Also like the Howard Hill glove for heavy bows but after long sessions the glove is too narrow and hurts the tip/nail. Sometimes the nylon straps shift and wedge into the groves and gets painful at full draw. lack of string feel.

So I need something in between. Something thick enough to protect my fingers for 3-4 hour sessions but not too thick I can't feel the string.

Most my bows are 50#.  Interested in the big shot crossover and the bodnik speed glove, dura glove.

My favorite glove is the American Leathers Big Shot. I have heard a lot of good things about the crossover, but haven't tried one yet. Give John Turner a call at American Leathers, he will be more then happy to answer any questions you have.

X3- cross over Kangaroo. Have mine 2 years now. Has not stretched. Just enough "feel" for my 60# limbs. But I still get a good release with my 45# limbs. Straps use Velcro and mine wore out. John repaired it and added longer straps I requested. Great folks to deal with. John is recovering from surgery so may not be beside phone. But keep trying.

I really love my Duraglove from 3Rivers. May have too much string feel for you.

I have both the Krossover  (kangaroo) and the original Buffalo Big shot. Both are well built but I far prefer the Buffalo BigShot.

I have both a kangaroo and bison big shot. I prefer the bison. I'd trade my like new kangaroo for another large bison version.

I haven't tried the other gloves mentioned because after I got a Duraglove I stopped searching.

I've been shooting a duraglove and just purchase a kangaroo crossover today. We'll see how it works for me.

Forgot to add I spoke with John on the phone before placing my order for the kangaroo crossover and he was very helpful!

I really believe the Krossover is the best glove AND tab ever made.  It isn't a tab of course, but it gives a better feel of the string like a tab and it is a glove.

Seriously.
