These items seem rather expensive. Does anyone use alternatives? ie Soccer goalee gloves or "Grappling" gloves. The latter appear well padded across the entire back of the hand and are 1/2 the price!

Don't mess around, use a shooting glove or mitt. They are not expensive, I buy a few every year from Creemoor in the USA, last time I looked they were $35 each.

Shooting gloves are designed for a specific purpose
If you are going to punch someone I think those shown would be a good choice
or wear them upside-down would be the other option
In the end you will try to save some money and will end up purchasing what you should have in the first place.

I agree with Aubrey don't muck around.

But then again I shoot F-Class so I'm probably not quatified to comment!

OK, some cheaper options there. Mitt or Glove? I'm thinking mitt since the last time I tried a glove and TR it took forever to get the damn thing off. Is there any downside to a mitt?

David,

There was a time when every TR shooter in Australia used a mitt. I can't recall any regular shooter using one in the last five years. As a matter of fact, that was the year I picked up one left on the mound early in the local Queens that never reclaimed.

Talk to the local shooters with cred; look at what's being used on the range. Then, maybe, you'll be convinced to to buy a properly fitted reputable shooting glove & cry only once at the cost.

Properly fitted? As far as I am aware there is no one in Canberra who supplies/stocks these types of things! I know what other shooters in the club are using but they can't tell me (definitively) make, model or even size (well make can be determined in some cases).

If I go to say shootenstuff then I have a plethora of gloves to choose from with no obvious signs of difference between them (other than full or part finger) at least from a novices perspective and no size chart. So in the end it appears to be a best guess!

I imagine a full fingered glove would be easier to remove than the 'cut off' versions.

Sorry Pico. Forgot about you.

Ben Picton also provides a very good service.

Probably a stupid question, but when ordering gloves and slings, as a right handed shooter do I order left hand glove and slings or when selecting this option am I telling them that I am a right handed shooter?

Cheers
