Shooting glove?
With a double rifle?
I haven't ever been able to make sense of the 'shooting glove' phenomenon. Just doesn't make sense to me at all.
On that, the shooter also seems to have a pretty strange way of holding onto his rifle.
That combination of
'not really holding onto the wrist of the rifle'
plus
'resting the thumb of the shooting hand against the left side of the toplever'
plus a shooting glove sounds like a recipe for disaster any way I look at it.
Is the glove there to protect his thumb from the toplever?
--Tinker
I use a shooting glove when sighting or shooting from a benchrest position with my big bore bolt actions. Some have floorplate releases that have a tendency to peel the skin from the nuckle of the trigger finger. Usually happens so fast I dont feel it, just look down and see blood. I dont know about using it with a double rifle, but I have hunted with side by side shotguns with all sorts of gloves without incident. The gloves were for warmth rather than protection.
