Hi everyone,

I'm just getting into target shooting and noticed some club membersat my club have fingerless gloves and others full long gloves, I know it's probably a matter of preference but what should a novice like myself wear? Any advice is welcome, .

Whatever is comfortable.
I use a Kusterman fingerless, but it's simply because that's what I could afford when i started and what i saw a lot of others using.

If you get chance, try a few different sorts on and see what feels right.

fingerless are good for summer, but on a outdoor / covered range they were awful on winter nights.
fingered gloves can get a bit hot on hot-hot days, but not too bad, the leather jacket and jumper i wore were probably worse :)

The best glove is a new glove.

Fingerless for warm weather, fingered for cold. Cheap enough that you can replace it regularly. The difference between a worn-out one and a new one is staggering.

..

Surely whichever glove suits your needs best.

Thanks for the input guys, will try different gloves as you say.

.............. these are good & not expensive.....

Seems fine to me! I've also got the long finger version for when its a bit chilly.

Just bought a Kurt Thune glove and found it fits a lot better than my Anschutz glove, the new one is a much more comfortable fit!
