Edgar, I actually put a glove on to see how it would help but it was difficult to get on the rear trigger. Since then, I have been thinking about doing just that. I may cut the thumb and trigger finger off and then use part of one of them help pad the middle finger. Yesterday I shot a 2 frame 12 gauge and by the time I started my hands were getting cold. My hands began to hurt from the recoil so the gloves may be my best bet. I see people on this site shooting in very cold weather with snow on the ground. That would be impossible for me. Cold and arthritis do not mix. Back years ago, we quail hunted in really cold weather and didn't think nothing about it.
I remember hunting by myself on a very cold last day of the season. I had a good hunt and I recall standing after I put the dog up in the wind and thinking how good it felt. That memory has stayed in my mind for probly 40 years.
