For the past few months, I have been trying out five different shooting gloves. Identifying the materials, comfort, fit on the hand and overall quality. I'm often asked what gloves work best and the goal was it identify ones that are inexpensive and might be good for beginners.It's not about whether a glove is better than a shooting tab, it's about which of the five gloves work better than others. They are all under £15 current (October 2026)There are 2 fabric gloves and 3 leather ones.The testing involved shooting them with a beginners recurve of 18lb draw weight, a 30lb White feather Sheerwater flatbow and my competition Blackbrook TDR 48lb recurve. The ones tested are listed below and the prices are shown based on Merlin Archery Website https://www.merlinarchery.co.uk/acces... • Bear Paw Mesh Glove £6.89• Grizzly Jim Signature Series All Weather Glove £9.89• Buck trail £9.89• Grizzly Jim Signature Series Deer Leather Glove £9.89• Grizzly Jim Signature Series Kangaroo Leather Glove £14.99Please note I am not sponsored by any retailer and the gloves were purchased by me (except for the deer skin which was a gift) for this test.If you have any questions or queries you can drop me an email on [email protected] or via the websiteoffthearrowshelf.com⁠ Most of all remember to enjoy your shooting and as always thanks for listening, watching and supporting.#barebow #bow #bows #arrows #fieldarchery #archerycoaching #archery #srt #archerypodcast #coachingtip #archerylife #archer #bowsandarrow #tradarchery #traditionalarchery #bowandarrow #bow #arrow #archeryfamily #recurve #flatbow #recurve #3Darchery #shootingplace #nfas

In the latest episode I invite you on a learning journey with me as I introduce you to the concept of the Archers Triangle which is something I first started using when I started archery nearly 20 years ago. I honestly believe it is as applicable to an existing archeras it is to a newbie. In the next few episodes, I plan to expand on the 3 sides ofthe triangle but this is very much an overview. If you are a coach do you have something similar to helpexplain things to your students?
