Best Archery Protective Gloves of 2025

"I've purchased three gloves since they are essential for archery. They offer great quality and fit, especially for heavy poundage bows. I've tried other options, but this glove is unbeatable. 10/10 for me!"

"This glove is exactly what I was looking for. It's soft yet firm, and I noticed my shooting consistency improve right away. The value for the price is the best I've found in my search!"

"I've shot hundreds of arrows with this glove using a 60lb recurve. Other gloves couldn't handle the pressure, but this one is wearing beautifully. I'll definitely be buying it again!"

"I find this archery shooting glove to be of excellent quality. It fits my large hands perfectly, and I appreciate the sufficient padding that protects my fingertips while still allowing flexibility."

"For traditional archery, this glove is fantastic! The soft leather lets my fingers curl naturally on the string, unlike thicker gloves that create an unstable surface. The well-placed Velcro doesn't irritate my skin, making it very comfortable."

"After trying numerous gloves, this one has become my go-to for archery. It’s not overly thick but provides great protection for my fingertips, making it ideal for longbows and recurves. Plus, being a Fred Bear product, I trust its quality."

"I've only used this glove once, but it fits well and definitely protects my fingers. I just need to break it in a little more, and it'll be perfect. I have what some call sausage fingers, so once it stretches, it'll be great."

"I really love the feel of this glove; however, the sizing is a bit small. My hands are longer, so I should have ordered a large. I'll be getting a larger size soon, but for now, my girlfriend is really enjoying it instead."

"I've shot with a Bear glove for decades, and this one does not disappoint. The size is exactly the same as my previous Bear glove, which has served me well for over ten years and is still in great shape."

“I found this glove to be exactly what I needed for drawing my bow. There’s no finger pain at all, and it fits just right.”

“I purchased this glove for my granddaughter. It’s well described, but I want to point out that the palm and back are not real leather, just the fingertips and wrist strap. However, it seems to be made well, and I have no complaints.”

“I had some concerns initially, but after a few uses, I’ve come to appreciate it. It feels comfortable and fits nicely, and I’m optimistic about its durability.”

“I ordered the glove for the wrong hand, but the quality is superb. It fits snugly, which isn’t a downside for me. I’m keeping it, and I highly recommend it!”

“My husband is thrilled with this glove! We had to modify it a bit for perfect fit, but after shaping it, it works wonderfully. Great product overall!”

“I usually wear medium gloves, and while I struggled a bit to remove this one, it fit my wife nicely. Just be careful about sizing.”

"My grandson just started archery and he loves it! This glove fits his hand well, but it might be too small for a larger child."

"I usually prefer tabs, but I wanted to try a shooting glove. This model works great for me. I wear a large size in surgical gloves, and this one fits perfectly. My release is much smoother and more comfortable now!"

"I'm pretty new to archery and this glove has been extremely helpful. After an hour, I still feel some pain in my fingertips, but I believe I just need to practice more. It fits my big hands nicely and is overall very comfortable."

"My granddaughter adores her bright pink glove. At eight years old, it fits her perfectly. As she just started target shooting, this glove has been a great help."

"My daughter needed this glove because her hand would hurt after an hour of classes. It protects her hand and makes using the bow easier."

"For my five-year-old daughter, the glove fits great, but the leather is so tough that she struggles to bend her fingers around the bow string. We were hoping it would soften over time, but it hasn’t after a couple of months."

"The small size fits my 13-year-old son perfectly. He says it works great with no pain while shooting arrows. The glove is holding up well after two weeks of use."

"This is my first glove, and it arrived quickly. It fits perfectly and looks good on my hand. It feels great too!"

"I have stubby fingers, and gloves are usually a hassle, but the small size fits perfectly. I expected to have to adjust them, so this is a pleasant surprise. I haven't tested it with my bow yet."

"I used this when I first started shooting my bow this year. Let me tell you, after one hit from the bow string on my arm, I definitely needed this. It also keeps my long sleeve camo shirt out of the way on cooler days."

"I found it to be good quality. However, the seams aren’t as soft and supple, which can be a bit uncomfortable on my fingertips."

"The archery arm guard looked just like the picture. My son was really happy with it. That said, I could have saved some money by buying it locally instead of paying for shipping."

"I was just in search of the cheapest archery glove and ended up with this one. Unfortunately, it doesn't meet my needs. I have a 60 LB bow and it really hurts my fingers. I wish I had opted for a higher quality glove instead of saving money."

"I purchased this glove for my first recurve bow, and it's a great fit for my relatively small hands. The Medium size worked perfectly for me! It's breathable and stretches as needed, providing solid protection for my fingers. I believe this glove will last a long time—definitely a great buy."

"This glove is ideal for beginners or those on a budget. Its open design accommodates various hand sizes. While it isn't full leather, the fabric is comfortable and stretches nicely. The leather tips offer just the right protection. Perfect as a starter glove or for light use."
