Buck Trail Buffalo Full Palm Shooting Glove

Buck Trail Buffalo Full Palm Shooting Glove – Antique Brown Leather

Technical Specifications

Usage and Maintenance Guide

Slip the glove onto your drawing hand and secure the wrist strap. Ensure your fingertips reach the end of the reinforced sections for maximum protection. Interesting Fact: Buffalo leather has a more pronounced grain than cow leather, which not only looks fantastic but also provides a more "grippy" texture that archers have valued for centuries.

Pro Tips for Care:

• Moisture Control: If the glove gets wet during a field shoot, let it air dry naturally at room temperature.
• Avoid Direct Heat: Never place your leather glove on a radiator or near a fire to dry. This will cause the buffalo leather to become brittle and shrink.
• Conditioning: Treat the glove with a quality leather balm once or twice a year to keep the fibres supple and prevent cracking.

Recommended Accessories:

To complete your traditional setup, consider a matching leather armguard to protect your forearm from string slap. A high-quality back quiver or a hip quiver in brown leather will perfectly complement the antique look of this glove. Don't forget to keep some bowstring wax handy to keep your string as well-conditioned as your glove.

Best Suited For:

This glove is a versatile workhorse for various traditional bow types:

• Recurve Bows: Provides excellent protection for high-volume shooting sessions.
• Longbows: The reinforced tips handle the pressures of heavy draw weights with ease.
• Horse Bows: The ambidextrous design is ideal for various historical shooting techniques.

How to choose the correct size?

To ensure maximum tactile feedback during the release without the glove feeling loose, choosing the right size is key. Here is how to measure: use a measuring tape to find the distance from the tip of your middle finger to the first crease of your wrist. If you fall between two sizes, we recommend choosing the smaller one for buffalo leather, as the material will naturally stretch slightly and mold to your hand after a few sessions.
