Late season gloves for archery

[Eship]

What gloves/mittens/ or lack there of is everyone using for late season whitetail hunting with a bow? In the past, I’ve always just work thin gloves or no gloves and try to keep my hands in my pockets. I may look into getting a pair of thin merino wool gloves like what Nested whitetail gear makes plus a pair of oversized mittens that I can easily slip off to take a shot. I like the idea of thin gloves just for contact with cold things like saddle climbing equipment and my bow, but don’t like losing dexterity with my release.

I use fingerless wool gloves with hand warmers in my pocket. Seems to work well for me.

No gloves, I use a muff and hand warmers if it's really cold. My bow is also carbon, which helps

I just use the cheap mechanix gloves, and wear a handwarmer muff around my waist. Plenty of dexterity + plenty warm. This is comfortable down to single digits for me.

Depends on how cold! Fingerless wool gloves are all I wear. Typically I just have one on my bow hand and keep my hands in my muff/pocket. If it gets super cold (below 20) I put hand warmers on the back side and I can still use my release.

I typically do not wear gloves. Just handwarmers in my jacket pockets. But, i am considering moving to a muff around the waist. Not sure. I just do not feel comfortable shooting my bow with gloves on. Never have.

I think I’ll probably stick with no gloves most of the time as well. I’ve survived quite a few seasons doing it, no reason to change. Maybe just need to get some hand warmers

Following for the good ideas of others. I have tried out a lot of different gloves with no luck. I always come back to no gloves. The bow just feels better in my hand without them and i never seem to feel as comfortable with my release when I have them on.

Like others hand warmers have been my go to. But I’m open to trying them again if someone has found a pair they really like.
