Cold hands Bowhunting?

[L.O.S.T.Arrow]

Saw this thought it was kinna neat....
The “Prescription” BOW MITT by Blacks Creek...

As many of us have found in Oct or Nov, and even in Sept, the ole hands can get cold with a wooden or aluminum grip riser bow, and using a heavy mitt or glove can change shooting form drastically, I personally wont wear gloves to shoot while bow hunting...

So this may be the ticket, attaches via stabilizer insert behind stabilizer and incorporates with bow sling or not

Hand slips in easy or out as per normal bow sling

lots of camo patterns even matches my winter camo on my hunting bow

Going to try one out

Downside is a little pricy with our exchange on dollar...puts it a little over $100.00 before shipping

Im a finger shooter I use a pair light deer skin gloves and I have a warm camo muff that straps around waist Can stick hands in it with a hand warmer or two in it and toasty warm.

I heard a tip on the radio today, talking about fishing... Don't see why it wouldn't transfer to archery.
The hand warmer packets that you shake and are good for like 5hr. Tuck them under a wrist band on your wrist and it warms the blood to your hands because the blood runs so close to the skin surface there and lessens the bite of the cold

Problem with this is that we have thermostats in our wrists and when wrists are warm body slows down heat production so while you feel warm it actually speed hypothermia, we also have a thermostat in back of our neck, back of our knees, and our ankles, the ones in our ankles have a lot of control and if our ankles are cold the rest of us will feel cold....

thermo-regulation in mammals and humans is actually a very complex system...

So true...if my feet ankles get cold...Im done...always been like that...will hunt in minus 40 no issues long as feet are warm...my grandfather taught me if you feet are cold put on a warm hat...that really works ...

I have hunted many an November and there are /were many different types of warmers...stick on, wrap..heated ..all had issues ...I use a heated hand muff in blinds or stands so hands are always toasty...this would just keep them warm with no form or obstructions...slip in slip off as with proper loose wrist sling....
