Need advice/ recommendations

[John Truitt]

Looking for advice for a good glove to withstand heat for a flurry event.

200 targets in 5 minutes time.

I would like to use a pair of guns but they have splinter forearms.

I have usually used beavertail guns with a shooting glove and this worked well. But I need a really good glove to use for splinter forearms.

Are there any welder gloves of mechanics gloves that are thin enough to give some tactile feel at the same time retarding heat?

[Brian Dudley]

I would think any glove for tig welding would work well. I habe a pair from Tilman. They are pretty thin, but work well for the heat.

[Jerry Harlow]

Try Handball Gloves. Thick in the palm, vented in the back, designed for sweat and to breathe.

Here's your answer! I've been using a pair of these Gripswell GS-12 model gloves for many years shooting scores of flurries with my splinter forend 20-ga. Repro without any issues. They work.

Plus 1 on the grip swell gloves

[Chuck Bishop]

Plus 2 on the GripSwell glove. I've had mine for many years.

Why not use leather handguards such as sold by CSMC and others. besides you can also use then in the field or for normal shooting.

A 200 bird in 5 minute flurry would be considered the Mother-of-all-Flurries. That undoubtedly would be the ultimate test for both gun and man. Good luck. :bowdown:

John. I have found "The Gun Glove" to be the best glove on the market for the shooting that we do. Check out their web site @ www.thegunglove.com.
All the best,
Buddy

I've heard that gripswells are no longer available. I love the SxS models with the extra heat protection. Anyone have any information on availability?

I've always used golf gloves, whenever I wore gloves for shooting.

Foot joy has two Black Golf Gloves. One is the rain glove, thin and a good shooting glove. Other is their winter Golf glove, same design and appearance but thicker. Never tried the winter model.

Good thing about either one, they come in sizes . Dicks stocks them 21 bucks .

I feel sorry for the guns involved. I have seen too many guns damaged by one man flurrys. As Del Whitman (SxS gunsmith) use to say at the UP flurry (2 1/2 minutes 75 targets) I love the flurry because I get so many guns to take back to the shop to work on....:shock:

[John Truitt]

It is a hard event on the guns and shooter. But I like it. IMO the guns were made to be shoot. I don't own a single gun that I would not and do not shoot the heck out of.
Yeah it can wear them out but they can be fixed also.

But like I said I like the event and look forward to it when it comes up.

John I have a pair of deerskin gloves from orvis. They are very soft and fit my hand "like a glove". Seems like you need something that provides dexterity and these do. Whether or not they are thick enough to protect you from the heat I don't know.
