Welcome to our dedicated collection of Bear Archery archery gloves, where precision meets protection for traditional archers. These high-quality gloves, including the Leather 3 Finger Traditional Shooting Glove in medium, large, and XL sizes, plus the iconic Fred Bear Master Glove, are crafted to safeguard your fingers during intense shooting sessions while enhancing your draw and release.
Why Bear Archery Gloves Stand Out
Bear Archery has built a legendary reputation in the archery world since 1933, known for innovative designs rooted in tradition. Their gloves prioritize durability, comfort, and performance, making them a go-to for bowhunters, target shooters, and recreational archers alike. Unlike generic options, Bear Archery gloves use premium materials that withstand repeated use without compromising feel or flexibility.
Part of the broader Archery Gloves category within Protective Gear, these products fit seamlessly into your archery setup. Whether you're upgrading from basic tabs or seeking alternatives to SeektopSports Archery Gloves, Bear Archery delivers unmatched quality.
Key Features to Consider in Bear Archery Gloves
When shopping for archery gloves, focus on fit, material, and design tailored to your shooting style. Bear Archery excels here with:
- Premium Leather Construction: Full-grain leather provides a natural grip and breaks in for a custom fit, reducing string slap and finger fatigue.
- 3-Finger Design: Ideal for traditional recurves and longbows, leaving the index finger free for consistent nock placement.
- Reinforced Stitching: Ensures longevity during rugged hunts or practice sessions.
- Ambidextrous Sizing: Available in medium, large, and XL for the Leather 3 Finger model, accommodating various hand sizes.
These features make Bear Archery gloves perfect for extended use in Hunting & Fishing scenarios or casual backyard shooting.
Comparing Bear Archery Models
Choosing the right model depends on your hand size and preferences. The Leather 3 Finger Traditional Archery Shooting Glove (ASG101 series) comes in three sizes:
- Medium (ASG101M): Best for smaller hands, offering snug control without bulk, great for youth or women archers transitioning to trad bows.
- Large (ASG101L): Versatile fit for most adult males, balancing protection and dexterity.
- XL (ASG101XL): Extra room for larger hands or those wearing thin liners in cold weather hunts.
The Fred Bear Master Glove stands apart with its namesake heritage, featuring a slightly thicker palm for superior string protection and a classic aesthetic. It's favored by purists who value Bear Archery's founder legacy. All models share black coloring for a sleek, low-profile look that pairs well with Archery gear.

Use Cases and Buying Tips
Bear Archery gloves shine in traditional archery disciplines. Bowhunters appreciate their quiet draw in the field, while target enthusiasts love the consistent release. Measure your hand circumference at the knuckles (relaxed fist) to select the perfect size, err larger if between fits for glove-like comfort.
Consider your bow draw weight: lighter setups pair well with the standard Leather 3 Finger, while heavier compounds benefit from the Master Glove's padding. Always test draw feel, as proper fit prevents blisters and improves accuracy.
