Super Glove
Someone got me the super glove for Christmas. I have been trying to get used to shooting it, but cant' get my anchor point any more. I use the corner of my mouth. I have been shooting the damascus glove for a few years. So its thin leather, and you can easily feel the corner of your mouth. Anyone else try this glove?
My release is cleaner than ever. But I have to hold back much longer to get my anchor point down.

RE: Super Glove
I went with the Skookum glove.
Comparable to the super glove, but recommended for lighter bows. I hoped that translated into better string feel, but I've never used the superglove so no idea. It does give a smooth release, but is much thicker than the allen glove I bought at walmart, that has very thin leather pockets. I'd still be using the allen if it was a full glove instead of just 1/3 finger pockets.
I have the same issue with the skookum, requires much more concentration to find a repeatable anchor, but having more than one reference point helps.

RE: Super Glove
Took me a while to get used to it, but once I did it's the only glove I use now. I buy mine at a shoot where I can try them on first--when new, I want it so tight I can barely get my fingers in it--that way, when it's broken in, it's just right. Like every other glove I've tried, they can vary quite a bit in the way they fit, so I won't buy one without trying it on first.

RE: Super Glove
I shoot with one. It felt the best of a bunch I tried when I bought it. I never did care to feel a lot. Although I seem to be able to bounce to a tab and after a few shots hit just as fine?

RE: Super Glove
I got one of those super gloves last fall after shooting a damascus glove for years. It sure is a different feel. Really stiff. I've thought about cutting thevery tippy endoff the finger stall and putting a few extra stitches in where the cut goes through the seams so I can touch my anchor with a bare fingertip. Haven't gotten that desperate yet. I keep hoping it'll feel different when I get it broke in and gotten myself used to it.
