What archery glove are you using? Can you shoot your handgun with it?

I figured this would go better in here since it's more pertinent to archery than to hunting, and it's more about the archery gear than it is about shooting a handgun.

I'm looking for some input on a shooting glove for archery, but not a traditional one. I want something that will protect my fingers and not hang onto the string too much so I have a good release, but I also want to be able to access and shoot my pistol while wearing the glove.

I tried just using the tuff grip glove that I occasionally use when shooting, and it actually worked surprisingly well... Until day 2 of using it, when I took it off and had a pretty good sized blood blister (approx 3 ml of blood)
Just wondering what all the traditional guys on here are using

I use a S.A.M. Tab instead of a glove. It's a fairly thick double layer tab with a cord that wraps around your wrist. You won't be shooting a gun with the tab on but it slides off of the hand quickly and hangs from the wrist so you can use your fingers.

Be sure to use a deep hook and not your fingertips when pulling the string. String pressure should be about 80% on the middle finger, 15% on index and 5% on the ring finger. Good finger protection with the string in the first joint and appropriate pressure will greatly reduce blisters or sore fingers.

I use weight lifting gloves.

Hadn't thought of weightlifting gloves.

I'll check. Out the Sam tab. I prefer tabs for when I'm using a bow with a sight, but for barebow I really like the glove for some reason
