I finally got to go on my first bow hunt today. However, my release would not fit over my good thick gloves. I ended up wearing my thin glove and it is freezing out here. Does anyone have a good warm pair that a release will fit over?

Why can't some one make a nice warm glove with a release made onto it? Once you hand is inside, you would tighten the strap and you're good to go.

Thin cotton gloves is all I wear(rifle or bow) hunting. I keep my hands in my pockets or when it gets really cold I'll use a handwarmer muffs.

That's pretty much how I ended up. I have a pair of orange camo jersey gloves. But that was not much better than nothing.

I wear thin cotton gloves and use hand warmers. I slip off the gloves when I grab my bow for a shot.
I'm gonna get one of those hand warmer things you just stick your hands in that has a waist strap, put a couple of hot hands in there and call it good.

I've also used the gloves that were mittens, but would fold back. It has half fingers under the mitten part. That's worked well for me, too.

I also cut the end off the index finger on my gloves. I just don't feel like I have as much control through a gloved hand.

Manzella makes gloves with a release compatible cuff.

Im waiting on a hand muff. best answer. I can handle the cold long enough to make a shot barehanded

If you have a caliper release, you can sacrifice your release hand glove and cut a slit in the palm for the release while it's strapped to your wrist. One benefit of a hand-held release is having it clipped on the bowstring ready to go and just use your gloves or take it off at the moment of truth. Either way, practice with what you'll have on. Gloves can throw your sights off.

I have a pair of north face fleece gloves or the thin UA fleece and put a spandex primos camo over it. It's good till about freezing then you need hand Warmers, but you can put them between the gloves on the back or palm of your hand. Works well for me. And the pair I have been wearing, I have worn a hole through the tip of one thumb and it works great on a phone.

This was my first time to finally hunt with my bow. I don't understand how glove effect the sights. Can you explain?

I wear thinslate scentlok gloves. No problems with my accuracy with gloves on...

I use the Manzella Forester ST TouchTip gloves and love them. They make them in warm, warmer, and warmest I think. I use the warm for early season and warmer for late season when it's really cold and put Hot Hands hand warmers in my pockets if it's in the 30's or lower. The warmest if I remember correctly was really for below freezing temps and were a little to thick for bow hunting. They fit better than any other gloves I've tried and have a tight wrist band which my release fits over nicely. They also have finger tips that work on your cell phone. The only problem is I can't seem to find anybody that sells this particular model anymore. They also have a model with a hole in the wristband for your release but to me it just complicated things since I have a release that folds away.

The gloves give me a little different grip and I just try to stay consistent, shooting with a jacket and layers is bad enough for me. I need all the help I can get.
Have you shot any with all your hunting stuff on in your climber? It's a huge difference.

It can (may) affect your anchor point. That's why it's always best to practice the way you'll hunt (the clothes you'll be wearing). Bulked up clothes on your bow arm may cause string slap (and a miss). You won't find out until you take some shots with your hunting clothes on.

Ok. That makes sense. Thanks.

I use the thin Manzella bow gloves. When it's real cold, I use Manzella mitts. Just fold the mitt back on your trigger hand when it's time to shoot.
