Might seem unfashionable (no camo!) but after trying hunting gloves in NZ of all the big-name hunting clothes brands and having them fall to bits or just not work out, I settled on plain old yellow Riggers gloves. The very soft ones.
I spoke to a pro-hunting guide on one of Tim Wallis's historic deer properties and he used the ones that are lined with sheeps wool, and had no dramas with his rifle, binos, getting stuff in and out of packs etc whilst wearing them.
But each to hiss own. All of my tradie life I had to wear gloves, so doing delicate dexterity jobs has become normal over time, and I don't notice them. I also found fingerless gloves a bit of a joke, myself. That's just me, not a shot at anyone who likes them.
Because fingers get cold, cut, squashed, all that, just the same as the rest of the hands.
