Members DuncanSinclair Posted November 28, 2011 Members Report Posted November 28, 2011 I'm looking for a pattern for a bow glove. Does anyone have one? Could a regular glove pattern be adapted to use with my English Long Bow? I'm looking for something like this: http://www.3riversarchery.com/Armguards+Gloves+Tabs++Hawkwood+Bowglove_c1_s41_p0_i4002X_product.html or http://www.3riversarchery.com/Armguards+Gloves+Tabs++Robin+Hood+Bracer_c1_s41_p0_i8540X_product.html Quote
Tinneal Posted November 29, 2011 Report Posted November 29, 2011 Oh wow! I have a few friends who do archery and would love something as nice looking as those links... If anyone has anything, I'd like to know, also! Quote
Members glockanator Posted November 30, 2011 Members Report Posted November 30, 2011 Of it were me I would just get a cheap pair of gloves and cut them to look like what your first picture. Then attach that your bracer pattern. That would give you a workable pattern. Quote
Members Peter Darby Posted December 1, 2011 Members Report Posted December 1, 2011 For shooting my ELBs I made a leather forefinger ring which projects out to the hand side and curves aroung the tip of my hand. Sort of an l shape. If I remember when home I can try to post a picture. I have one of those three rivers gloves and find that when gripping the bow it doesn't lay flat which makes for an inconsistent shot. My little 3/9 ounce veg tan ring always is in the same spot. Besides it takes about ten minutes and a scrap piece to make. Quote

Members moxgrove Posted December 1, 2011 Members Report Posted December 1, 2011 looks like a job for masking tape. PUt the tape how you want the leather to cover , mark seam lines, etc. carefully cut the tape off with scissors , sprinkle baby pwder on the sticky side . from there , flatten and trace on card stock or paper and(don't forget seam allowance where needed) then use cheap muslin for your initial run, revise as needed and bingo. you are there.

Members Peter Darby Posted December 5, 2011 Members Report Posted December 5, 2011 (edited) Interesting. I will look forward to your photo. Here is the ring I made. It has a snap for attaching to the bow when stored. And since I made it in about two minutes I didn't do any burnishing or finishing. It is very thick to give it stability. I also noticed the bow is a bit torqued in my hand since I am not really shooting it. When held right the sipur section of the ring lines up with the arrow.

Members bigbuck150 Posted June 14, 2018 Members Report Posted June 14, 2018 Did you ever get this figured out? I would love to make some kind of glove. Right now I'm shooting bare fingers and I get really sore after a few shots from where my finger rolls off of my recurve bow string Quote
