    Which Shooting Glove?

    Hello All,

    I am a 10m target air-rifle shooter, and I am looking to buy a decent shooting glove, which can support my palm and wrist.

    I shoot (standing) with "Open Palm approach" and my palm and wrist tends to become tired and painfull..so I am thinking to invest in a glove.

    I am confused between a couple of models :-

    (1) http://www.edinkillie.co.uk/ecatalog...798g50qioofmc2

    (2) http://www.edinkillie.co.uk/ecatalog...love-p-59.html

    (3) http://www.intershoot.co.uk/acatalog...e-109-222.html

    Can someone please share their experience on the above...?

    Thanks in advance to all.

    The last 1 lóóks kinda rough on the outside (the grip panels). Wouldnt want thát to touch my rifles'finish! Personally, I dont see use for open gloves, as I load/change card with my other hand. If yr having complaints, pain etc, than I woldnt risk the thin 2nd one either. So I'd vote for a sturdy 1 líke nr 3, as long as the grip paddings arent rough.
    I have 1 myself, Anschutz/AHG I believe, full fingers, full leather.
    It ís especially for shooting standing though. I think thats important, cause most rest the rifle on top of their hand with standing position.
    And in the inside with prone/kneeling.
    So I'd look for a glove for standing.
    Besides thát, its really a matter of trying them on for best results. Too thin and you may keep pain/not enough support, too thick, and you'll loose feeling/contact.
    ATB,

    The first glove (1) is not suitable as it is trigger hand glove.

    The others will do and it is a bit of personal choice, for the open hand hold the glove needs to be a little more flexible and you should avoid the rigid or hard gloves such as the KT rigid as they are designed for sling pressures in prone. You may also prefer an open finger glove as its cooler in summer and also allows you to load with the left hand as many shooters do.
    I like the Kurt Thune Top grip short finger design from Edinkillie which my wife uses, or a cheaper option is the AHG Protech 125 which is also a short finger design from Intershoot.

    PS If you wrist hurts, try straightening your hand under the rifle so the first finger lays under and in line with the stock.
    Good shooting

    Not as far as I'm aware. Oddly the glove is the one bit of kit that isn't made to measure or multi-adjustable. I haven't tried this but I suspect it's quite possible to have a glove made thinner if you need a long and narrow fitting.

    I have seen some one somewhere making shooting gloves made to measure but can't remember who! (age thing!) It might have been Pipa at Tenpointnine, she would certainly be a good bet to enquire to.

    It does strike me as strange too!
