i ordered a new glove when i ordered my bow but there was a batch fault and it didnt come so i thought id make my own been testing it and its comfy its a bit more open than a full glove so perhaps a bit better in the warmer weather and the nylon (seat belt) finger stalls are super slick with no grooves like leather eventually does and if needed you can add shims into the stalls to thicken up on heavier poundage bows im shooting a 55# and its fine though im calling this the trident glove .
