I never ever use gloves even in the coldest temps, there is nothing like shooting with your bare hands. A Muff is far warmer than gloves or mitts and your bare hands are always ready to shoot. If its real cold I open one of those disposable charcol heaters.

NEVER and I mean NEVER use gloves when shooting. I teach them to never touch the trigger until they are ready to fire. Works very well for me and them. CK CK
