Shooting Gloves

Cold hands make for poor shooting. When your fingers are numb, your grip loosens, your trigger control suffers and loading becomes a fumble. The right shooting gloves solve that problem without making the gun feel clumsy, keeping your hands warm and dry while leaving enough feel to handle the gun safely and load quickly at the peg.

Warmth Without Losing Dexterity

Every shooting glove is a balance between insulation and feel. Thin leather gloves give excellent grip and sensitivity, and suit mild days and fast-paced drives, and good leather moulds to your hand over time. Waterproof and GORE-TEX gloves keep hands dry in driving rain, while fleece-lined gloves and shooting mittens with a fold-back trigger finger add warmth for long, cold waits. Many shooters carry two pairs: a warm pair for standing and a thinner pair for when the birds start coming.

Clay Shooting Gloves and Camouflage Gloves

Clay shooting gloves tend to be lightweight and close-fitting, with grippy palms that help keep your hold consistent through a busy round. The best clay shooting gloves are thin enough that you barely notice them, which makes them popular for summer shooting too. Gloves also protect your leading hand from hot barrels on a busy drive. For pigeon decoying and wildfowling, camouflage shooting gloves keep pale hands hidden in the hide, where movement is often what gives you away. We stock shooting gloves for men and women, and you can browse fit-specific styles in our men's gloves and women's gloves collections.

Getting the Fit Right

A glove that is too tight restricts blood flow and makes your hands colder, while one that is too loose makes the gun harder to handle. Use our glove size guide to measure your hand properly before ordering, and go up a size if you fall between two. Check that you can work the safety and trigger easily before heading out.
