THE SHOOTING-GLOVE.

Is used to protect the fingers of the right hand from abrasion by the

string when loosing, and consists of three finger-guards, attached by

strips of leather, passing down the back of the hand to a strap

fastening round the wrist. This form of glove has, however, rather

gone out of use of late years, most archers preferring independent

guards, called tips, for each finger, generally fastening by means of

an India-rubber ring round the finger, about the best of this kind

being those invented by Mr. Buchanan, of Piccadilly. In the matter of

the shooting-glove, however, it is best to leave the archer to choose

for himself, merely cautioning him to make sure that, whether gloves

or tips, they fit him well, or he will never be able to make a good

loose. The cut represents a glove.
