wymberley Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 I'm of an age where even on a warm - or at least one that isn't cold - evening my hand(s) can lock up with cramp and be painful which makes shooting impossible. I have a pair of Gripswell which are really too warm in summer and too expensive to use for roughy toughy foxing. I'd rather keep my flying gloves purely for more sedate shotgun use. I don't need anything super dooper warm - just something to take the edge off so have been using army woollen issue. However, I've just been reading Keeping The Balance (NGO) Market Place pages. Some gloves by the topic title company look a tad tasty so have just ordered some - these are not waterproof or particularly warm which matters not for me but they do look to be a half decent general purpose bit of kit at a sensible price. They can be found here - I've gone for the Realtree Grip version - www.chosen-tactical.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 Wymberley you can buy black synthetic thermal work gloves with a coating of soft rubber for grip, i sometimes use them in winter on the marsh as i cant let go of the trigger for the second shot when my fingers get very cold.

wymberley Posted June 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 Yep, they do look a tad tasty and there's no denying that they're well made. Unfortunately, there's some 'buts'. I keep a cheap pair of leather gardening type gloves in the car for carrying fox, retrieving from blackthorn type hedges, etc, etc. These will join them for similar but lighter work for which they'll do nicely. All I will emphasise is if you are thinking of them and you shoot double trigger, stop thinking. While I was searching for something, I also came across these and bearing in mind what I want something for, I also had a punt for a few £££s. Let's hope these are better. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00BGZ8794/ref=pe_3187911_185740111_TE_item Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As some numpty decided to scrub around the green flying gloves and go to black instead, I could be tempted to use these in the pigeon hide. Sorely tempted but this is not why I got them, but.......
