This is the time of year I shoot most of my pheasants. I belong to a private club and this seems to be a good time to shoot for most other shooting and hunting is shut down due to the weather and season. Many times is it 14 degrees F or less.
I have tried a variety of gloves but they are too thick to be very effective with a double triggered gun or too thin to be of much use against the weather. What have you found that works for you?
Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

I have always used rag wool gloves, especially when I lived in Alaska. But, I was given a pair of deerskin shooting gloves from Filson and I love them. Very thin supple leather. I never found leather gloves that I liked for shooting before. I have heard some fellows use golf gloves, especially on the trigger hand.

My favorite is called "The Gun Glove". Give them a try and I think you will be happy.

Daryl,
I have deerskin gloves but they are too thin and not warm. The golf gloves I use for summer trap shooting but again not much warmth in the winter.

Tamid, then try a decent rag wool glove . You get the "feel" through them, warmth, too. They also wick off perspiration. We all used them in Alaska when shooting clays below zero.

My sister knits me fingerless gloves that I wear over thin wool gloves or winter golf gloves. I've given my buddies them for xmas gifts. They are camo so they work well for coyote hunting too.
After the first shot the rest are just noise.

I like my GripSwell's. The uninsulated ones are good to around 10 above or so. I also use Bob Allen insulated gloves when it's around 0 or below. Good dexterity with double triggers. I have no complaints with either of them.
Good Luck!

I like GripSwells (without the swell part) in both insulated and uninsulated versions. You might look at some thin neoprene SCUBA gloves. We use them for ducks in moderately cold weather, decent feel and thin enough to not interfere with trigger access.

I have used baseball batting gloves in temps down to maybe 15 F. I have a wool or leather mitten on my left hand and the batting glove inside. I put the right hand in a pocket with a hot chemical warmer in it intermitenly if it gets REALLY nasty.

I have used these for decades and they work very well - at least in the UK! http://www.williampowell.com/Mens/Mens-S...oves_MGL101.htmI even used them on operations when I was in the army, back in the early 1970s. Tim
