Thumb Release Leather Shooting Glove Reviews
Awesome

Wasn't sure based on the reviews but after receiving the glove I could not be more satisfied. Coming from shooting thumb release with my thumb wrapped in tap, then using a work glove. So I have some callus built up and this works great and no pain. With a 60lb bow. If it still hurts after using this glove you either need to continue to shoot more or grow a pair. Fit is comparable… read more to football receiver gloves. You want a snug fit.

Just starting to use an Asian bow and this glove keeps my fingers from being cut by fletching.
It's a good idea....
SaxtonPopeStudent

As an Eastern-style archer, I decided to try this out, and while I found it to be comfortable as a glove, the shooting aspect was very lacking. For one, using even light draw weights was uncomfortable with it. The tab that protects the thumb creates an awkward feel of the string, and doesn't really keep the string from burning your thumb from the speed of release. I think it's a… read more great idea, it just needs to be made differently and worked on. Hope this helps.

I bought this glove not to use as intended but as protection for my bow hand in the context of historical archery using the thumb release. This glove will protect my bow hand from the arrow as I'll be shooting reproduction recurve Asiatic bows. Seems pretty well made and should fulfill this purpose.

New to thumb draw shooting. Great glove helps protect your hand while developing form. Only downside is the cut for the middle finger is a little short so it bothers my knuckle. Otherwise great product and would recommend to anyone new to thumb release shooting style

Recently bought an 80# Mongol style bow. I needed some serious protection for my thumb while learning to shoot with a thumb release Asian style and a plastic or bone thumb ring was irritating for me. This glove was the perfect solution. While the glove initially was a bit stiff, it loosened up after some heavy shooting. Two thumbs way up for me. I love this glove.
Excellent thumb release glove.

Good quality glove ideal for using the thumb release method.Well constructed with soft leather it does the trick and allows one to loose arrows with no discomfort.Purists may still want to use a horn ring but for starting out this glove is perfect.
Doesn't look anything like the picture

Alright, so I bought this because I'm a newbie archer and heard about thumb draw. Before I bought this I was just using a circle of leather that some friends had laying around. Since it was just a random piece of leather the fit was horrid and it often slips off. This glove is an adequate choice for a starter/newbie. Its not very traditional so, you might get a few stares. Overall… read more its not too intrusive. I was able to nock and pull arrows out without taking it off. I was also able to hold my arrows in the drawing hand, so I didn't need a quiver. So if you're looking into thumb draw and haven't bought a quiver, this might save you a few bucks.

11 years ago
From what I've seen(YouTube, search 'turkish horsebow' or 'horsebow archery'), the traditional 'Asian' or thumb release almost always shoots off the right side of the bow for a right handed shooter. Cock feather will face out to the right. It can burn a little bit shooting right off the top of your thumb, so I wear a partial glove on that hand too. As far as spine goes, I don't believe it affects it much at all. The thumb release doesn't appear to twist the string quite as much as your normal three finger release does, but I've noticed no difference in how the arrows fly from one to another. Point of impact does tend to drift to the right at first. I love the novelty and fun of shooting differently, so I think it's cool you want to try thumb shooting. It's a pain to learn and I'm still having trouble hitting anything, but it's great to have such a unique skill.

Correct - for the thumb release, the arrow goes on the thumb of the bow hand - which should be the right side for RH shooters and left for LH. I don't know about the tuning of the arrow - either wat would not surprise me. Also, one has to learn the release sufficiently (IMO) before tuning can be done effectively - else how would you know if it's the spine or the release? I've heard that bamboo is less effected by spine - so perhaps they are good arrows to start with. Lastly, you'll likely need to nock the arrow higher on the string since this is the main way to not have the fletching slice your hand (if you're shooting with a shelf-less bow).

If you're a right handed shooter you can also just use a RH bow like Joel Turner from ironmind hunting does, that will make it easier to get accurate with it if you're used to finger shooting.

11 years ago
From my experiences with this glove, it doesn't seem to change any of that. It took some adjustment to not roll the arrow off of the rest, but no more than under grabbing the normal way. Other than that, it makes for a much smoother release. I shoot left handed of the right side of the bow. If you shoot a high poundage bow, thumb strength might be an issue. With a 35# bow, it's fairly easy to hold the arrow and not have it slip, but you do have to squeeze hard.
