I'm in need of a pair of shooting gloves for upland field use (with my doubles, of course). Not gloves you'd use on a range, but gloves you'd use in a typical grouse covert. Can anyone point me to someone who sells such gloves--preferably some that you've used and can recommend from experience?

GripSwell, without the palm pad. Leather, good quality, good fit, not too expensive (but not cheap). I also use synthetic mechanic's gloves (like MechanixWear) for rough hunting, like ducks in flooded timber. Some brands available in camo patterns, if that matters.
GripSwell available at Ivory Beads and others. MechanixWear available from Summit Racing, Jeg's, etc.

I agree about the GripSwell gloves. They are about as good as it gets. http://www.gripswell.com/

I had a quail hunting buddy who was a surgeon and had to keep his hands from being scratched up by our Georgia briers. He always wore right and left handed golf gloves...some years they matched...Geo

Cabela's newest shooting catalog contains several styles of gloves. I have Gripswell SxS gloves and am very happy with them, as are the others, above.

I use the padded Gripswells when barrels are going to get hot, like in a flurry. Normal hunting use, including but not limited to grouse & woodcock, when insulation is not a requirement: Nike cold (or wet) weather golf gloves. Forget which they're called. They're also very good for target shooting. Best of all, they are neither very expensive nor very hard to find. Like any well-stocked sporting goods store.

Filson goat skins are my favorites. Thin enough to allow plenty of dexterity w/ triggers/safety/loading/etc; thick enough for SFE SxS; don't look like golf gloves! Buy 'em tight. Good for a year - maybe more - depends on how much you shoot. http://www.filson.com/product/index.jsp?...rentPage=family
Always looking for small bore Francotte SxS shotguns.

I have 3 pairs of Gripswell gloves, white for summer, brown for cooler weather and an insulated pair for when its real cold, as well as the summer weight Gunglove.
Either way, you can't go wrong.
GOD BLESS AMERICA.
