Paint The Face...

[CM Sackett]

I've made good shots without it...
...but I've never made a bad shot with it.

[Kingslayer]

Agree with ya...

[RickBarbee]

Works for me.

Don't that glove get hot?

Side note:

Just how ugly does a feller have to be, fore they stop allowing him to post pictures of himself?

Don't that glove get hot?

...no more than two of 'em did, all those years I hauled hay and built 5-strand (S.W. Oklahoma/Panhandle Tejas).

Truthfully, I've tried every glove, 3-finger setup, and even tabs (hate those floppers!). NOTHING has compared with the tactile 'feel' and overall comfort of a Wells LaMont 'deerskin' workglove.

...and I discovered them (as shooting gloves) out of a necessity.

I was in the Bridgers many years ago (and several wondrous times since) on a 10-day. Fell down a drainage chute on day 2... nothing really hurt but my pride.

A man running cattle on the peaks saw me from a lower switchback and came to pick up the pieces. When he saw I was alright, but flustered, he said - "Lose somethin'?"

"Yessir. My glove... brand new, too."

Without a word he reached into the cab of his truck. When he straightened he turned and said "Right or Left?"

I held up my right hand, and he tossed me the RH of a new pair of those 'deerskin' workgloves. "I can find uses for this one" he said of the other one.

...I've never looked back.

I generally get two full years of shooting (120 - 150 arrows a day, six days a week, 50 weeks a year) out of one. And I can find a replacement at any hardware/TSC store.



...as for your second query, Mamma always told me - "Son, you better be bold... 'cause you ain't NEVER gonna be 'pretty'".

Being behind this mug makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE.

[RickBarbee]

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa !!!!!! I knew you would have a good comeback for the ugly comment. LOL

As for the glove - yep, I've tried them for shooting, and they work well, but I'm so hot natured I just can't stand it. I don't mind my hands sweating when I'm workin, but I hate it when I'm shootin.

Anywho - keep the good posts rollin in. Always interestin readin your stuff.

I thought he was talking about his hat.

[CM Sackett]

My hat?

Me and that Pendleton have been to Hell and back... and Alaska, and Mt., and Co., and Texas., etc., etc.

I wouldn't trade that wool topper fer nothin'!

[Draco]

That's what I mean, I didn't think you could shoot with out it.

I carry a pair of Lamonts in my truck all the time. Don't use them for flinging but, I may have to give them a try when I can! I use my gloves for just about everything else though! Best $10.00 ya could spend (At least that's what they cost when I bought em last!)

CM great post once again. Enjoying the book!

[muzzlebrake]

Yep. I use those when knapping as they give me plenty of grip, feel and protection. Left my 3 finger glove at home one time when I went hunting and stopped by the hardware store in Breckenridge Tx and bought a pair to use with my recurve that weekend. Works good and I didn't notice any difference in my shooting. I still use it on a real cold day

If ugly guys couldn't post up here, this would move as slowly as the public hunting forum....and yes I include myself in the that group

Agreed & same here.

Buff & Peanut would get pretty lonely & bored reading only each others posts.

[CM Sackett]

Hell... we're GUYS!

Except for Cary Grant, and Elvis... in his early 20s - we're ALL UGLY.

...but that don't stop me from holdin' my own with the BEST of 'em!

OOOO paint the face I thought it was face paint.
