Possible to shoot compound bow with release or rifle with three finger gloves? (KUIU, Hestra, FL, etc)

I am going to be doing some late season rifle and bow hunting and am looking for some warm gloves that will allow for me to shoot without removing them. Temps in the teens to thirties. I realize this may not be possible but figured I'd ask if anyone else has tried this. I'm specifically looking at the Hestra 3 finger heli ski gloves and KUIU northstar glomitts but am not sure if either of these will allow for the dexterity to shoot. Has anyone tried this?

Thanks in advance.

I have a set of those GLomits. The finger on my XXl is big enough to cause issues with a trigger guard. I wouldn’t want to try and shoot with them on.

I'll be posting up my initial thoughts and review on these soon, but look at the shell mittens from The Heat Company. I'm very pleased with them.

Did you ever post your review?
Totally forgot about it. I still like these gloves a lot and would recommend them. I prefer the synthetic over the leather, and recommend merino wool liner gloves of your choice, not necessarily from heat co brand.

I’d probably lean towards a lightweight glove but keeping my trigger hand in a handmuff. I’d use any of those larger gloves for my bow hand though
