I shoot a Martin Mamba 58" 55#@28" and shoot split finger or Mediterranean (call it what you will) and after a shooting session of a few hours I end up with a blister on the tip of my right ring finger whereas all other fingers are fine. So is this "finger pinch" I have heard about, or maybe a form issue or time for a new glove - or all the above - thanks

Hey mate, you said the tip of your ring finger.....If you draw the string with a fairly 'deep hook', the string shouldn't be touching the tip of any fingers.
I don't use a glove, but a bit surprised you could get so much friction on the tip of that finger. Having said that, a few hours of shooting will make even small irritations, not so small!
My guess is either you are letting the string clip that fingertip on release, or it's some issue with the glove that I can't relate to, having always used a tab. Have a look at that tip of your glove - is there evidence of repeated scuffing there? If so, it's probably your release, but if not, I'm guessing it's friction between your fingertip and the inside of your glove.

Keep shooting and all the best,
Darren

Thanks Darren - OK may try a deeper hook - or a tab

Hi mate as you know I have gone to tab or American leathers glove that have the nylon reinforced finger tips.
Cheers

Cheers mate - may have to take out a second mortgage ad get one of the American Leather gloves ....

They are great gloves but I've lost 2 in the last 4 months $$$$$$$

Mate cant remember if you used mine at Nepean when we were there but I will take it with me to Wisemans and you can try it and see what you think before laying down $$$ cause they aint cheap as you say plus sizing is important.
Cheers
