Archery Glove Bearpaw DOA – Universal Sensitivity Crafted from Premium Deer Leather
This 3-finger glove is handmade using high-quality German Gütermann thread for superior tear resistance and is fully REACH-compliant. The biggest advantage of this model is its universal (ambidextrous) design – it is shaped to fit both the right and left hand perfectly. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned field archer, the DOA glove offers a level of comfort that is hard to match. The dark brown finish and hand-embossed logo provide a sophisticated look for any traditional setup.
Which hand is this glove for?
The DOA shooting glove is completely universal (ambidextrous). The symmetrical cut of the fingers and the wrist strap are designed to fit equally well on either your right or left hand. This makes it a versatile choice for any archer, regardless of their dominant hand.
The dangers of shooting without finger protection
Archery without proper finger protection is not just uncomfortable; it is hazardous to your long-term health. The bowstring exerts massive pressure on a tiny area of your fingertips. Without a glove, you risk:
- Permanent nerve damage: Repetitive pressure can damage the delicate nerve endings in your fingertips, leading to chronic numbness.
- Blisters and calluses: Painful skin injuries that will stop you from shooting for weeks.
- Inconsistent release: Subconscious "flinching" due to pain will ruin your accuracy and release technique.
- String cuts: Especially with higher draw weights, the string can easily slice into unprotected skin, causing severe pain.

Maintenance and Care
Deer skin is a luxury material. After shooting, always allow the glove to air dry naturally. Never place it on a radiator or near a direct heat source, as extreme heat will make the leather brittle and lose its softness. For cleaning, a light wipe with a damp cloth is sufficient. Periodically apply a leather balm to keep it supple. Do not machine wash, as this will permanently destroy the leather's unique properties.
Recommended Accessories
To complete your kit, we recommend bowstring wax for an even smoother release and a leather armguard in matching Bearpaw dark brown. This glove pairs perfectly with arrows featuring natural fletching for that authentic traditional experience.
