how does this glove hold up to a 60-70# bow?

We have been using the glove on a 50# for months now, and it works wonders. No wear and tear at all.

Not sure about 60 to 70lbs, but I shoot a 50lbs recurve and it does just fine, it seems to be built pretty well

I use a 45 #compound and it works fine for that. The leather is real heavy and thick. My bow is adjustable and later on when I build up more strength Ill increase it to 55 and so on. I really think it could handle it

The grip is very good. I'm very happy with the grip and the dexterity. I've had these gloves over a year now, but I've only been through one winter. I've washed them a few times. When I do wear them, it's only for about an hour per day during my pre or post flight checks, about 15 days per month. So, my gloves get light usage. With that being said, they are in excellent condition, have held up well in storage, and I haven't had any problems. I like these gloves.

I use them three to five times per week at the gym using moderate to heavy weight, and I have zero callouses. the finger hole openings are wide which is nice so they have not ripped near the fingers like other gloves I have owned.

That depends on use and care also what bow you have... properly waxed string with smooth waxed rails is the key to them lasting... standard strings are dacron D-50 but newer strings may be made from super braids or othermaterials. I have a string on a bow that is thirty years old but I don't shoot that one much that string is dacron by Ben Pearson. Crossbows are harder on strings than recurve bows. Start with Dacron since you are just beggining I assume, it is the cheapest and most plentiful. Keep the string and rails well waxed and Dacron should last a long time.

I wear a 7 glove and I bought a medium. That should be good for a 7 1/2 glove.

Hi, I do not shoot my regular bow at 60 to 70 yards. I have not tried the recruit at this range either. I can tell you at 30 to 40 yards it is fantastic and certainly all you need in a nice small easily manageable package. Good luck.

Hi there Yes great grip. You can't go wrong with Harbingers gloves. I've been using them for years, same pair still in good condition and I recently bought 2 pairs from Amazon for my partner and he absolutely loves them as he lifts heavy weights. Cheers, Nancy

I usually wear a large size glove and the Allen large fits perfectly. I think I would try on a men's medium glove and that would give you a good idea how well the shooting glove will fit.

Your bow should be fine. I think the response concerning the crossbow was a bit "overstated". I'm shooting a 60# compound w/field tips and they went in 3-5 ". I've taken mine apart after more than 2000 shots and recycled the contents into a replacement bag cover which I highly recommend doing! ;0)

I bought this bow for my step dad in his 50 ' s and he loves it. He has it set at a 55 lbs draw weight so it has plenty of power

Like a glove is the best response. You described the exact rig that I have and the fit is great

I have large hands and the gloves were snug when I got them but stretched to a comfortable fit, so you may try them and see if they snug. Since they are on Amazon Prime, it is no trouble to return them, but I don't think you will. Get the 23 inch size as it provides protection up to the elbow which no other glove has done before and it was needed. I have used them for yard work and moving concrete blocks and patio stones and I rate these 5 Stars for endurance and protection.

I was firing these from my 65# compound bow. They shattered after about 6 pulls each. On a 40 # recurve, there shouldn't be a problem

"Sandeep, I also have these gloves and they are great for all my needs. Keep fingers warm in the coldest weather and I compete with them in shoot competitions which require fast firing, reloading and fire in all conditions, never failed me once. Since they are very thin and stretch comfortably they will probably serve your need very well, however I have not used them for that purpose,yet. Hope this helps, good luck

I bought the bow and thought the same thing. I took my chances and was happy to see #55 written on the bow,witch means the draw weight is 55 pounds. They made a typo you know, it hap ends all the time.

Yes, my daughter plays Travel softball which she practices 2-3 times a week and 2 weekend tournaments a month, so she used them a lot and the area where wrist strap meets base of had the stitching came loose. Overall very good gloves.

No, you need a larger bow. Try to find a 70 inch bow. You may have to upgrade a bit to find one. As Tim told you, a Mohegan comes in 68 but I would try to find a 70". Try landcaster.com, they have them. You can chat with them online. They have all price ranges.
