roosika 110 Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 Does anyone wear gloves when shooting but would need grippy ones so the catty dosent slip ? Was looking for some as been out tonight and after taking turns holding the lamp my hands just couldnt stay warm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chuck Rock 18 Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 Fingerless gloves are alright I find - gotta have fingerless for the ammo and pouch. Just wrap a few thera strips around the catty for grip. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
roosika 110 Posted December 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 I would only have 1 on just my holding hand as pouch hand is always in my pocket Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest OutdoorFanatic Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 I sometimes wear thick gloves with grip on the fingers , pretty annoying when loading the pouch but saves the pain of handslaps which I seem to get all the time aha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Longers7 720 Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 I sometimes wear thick gloves with grip on the fingers , pretty annoying when loading the pouch but saves the pain of handslaps which I seem to get all the time aha shorten the length of your bands, or use heavier ammo mate, band slap is just excess energy caused by bands being to powerfull for size/weight of ammo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

moxy 617 Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 Try some of the neoprene diving gloves, not eBay shite but the real deal. They cost from a fiver (if on offer) upwards. Provided your hands are warm from the off they retain heat and they are fairly dexterous. I wouldn't like to say nimble enough for loading but I don't shoot a catty so have never tried. They are made to offer a natural relaxed hand position. Ideal for clenching something ie a catty, rather than an open palm fit like most gloves. Worth a look. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest OutdoorFanatic Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 Cheers for that Moxy I will look for a pair of those Quote Link to post Share on other sites

iamdrglass 15 Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 I do a lot of winter Fly Fishing. I use a brand called "Glacier Gloves". Mine are polar fleece on the back of the hands and neopreen on the palms and fingers. The thumb and trigger finger tips flip off/ up. They are not cheap though they run close to $50.00 U.S....

A catapult just wouldn't get used. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
