good glove for support hand in standing position

Post by coolcruiser »

Howdy Folks
My preferred standing position uses a closed fist to support my rifle. My old glove does not give me the wrist support that I would like. Does anyone have a good glove to recommend that might help keep my wrist from bending unecessarily? Currently it takes some muscle effort to avoid bending my wrist and that can lead to tremors for longer matches and the very undesirable fliers that follow.
TIA

My Gehmann is pretty stiff in the wrist.

7.4.9.6.2 (ISSF rule)
The glove must not extend more than 50 mm above the wrist measured
from the center of the wrist knuckle (Shooting Gloves). Any strap or
other closure device at the wrist is prohibited. However, a portion of the
wrist may be elasticated to enable the glove to be put on, but it must
leave the glove loose around the wrist.

That looks like it was designed for prone shooting only, where the handstop keeps your hand from sliding.

glove found

Post by coolcruiser »

Well after a search and some study I ended up buying an Anschutz 101 glove at Champion Shooters Supply. This glove seems to work in that it provides some wrist support and is a good fit for my hand. At $50 it is a reasonable price. My only complaint is the blue leather. My FWB has a red Aluminum stock and the blue clashes. On the web sight the glove is red but the kind lady at CSS explained to me that AHG sends the glove in colors as they choose :<(
Oh well...if it helps me keep em in the ten ring...even blue is good!

another glove

Post by coolcruiser »

Update FWIW...the Anschutz 101 glove helped me with my offhand wrist support but there was a problem with prone. The damn thing had a seam under the lining at the base of the thumb that hurt like hell when I was tightly slinged up in prone. I just bought a Creedmore 115 that has a one piece rubber pad across the thumb and palm. It is stiffer than I would normally use but it provides excellent wrist support (my original quest) and it does so without painful seams under the thumb. In the "Ways of the Rifle" a comment is made about painful glove seams. Since I had never experienced the problem with previous gloves the comment seemed odd but now I understand! The Anschutz glove is disappointingly uncomfortable.

Make your own, thats what i did. Elk skin and a cut up leather work glove, works like a 40$ manufactured Glove.... This really aint a cheap sport at all.

I use the Champion Shooters model 210. good support, comfortable seams, reasonably priced.
