Default Gloves when using arrow release?

Curious what everyone is doing to keep their hands warm now that the temperature is decreasing when using a release? I have trouble using the release with thicker gloves on so I have a pair of the cheap tight cotton ones and cut the fingers off...but they aren't too warm and do nothing for staying dry.

Thx

I use a thin pair of gloves, then a thick pair of winter socks over top that I remove when I pick up my bow to shoot. Works quite well for me.

Take your mitts off to shoot anything, gun or bow. My buddies laugh at me, the mitts start flying when I’m getting down to business.

I usually keep my release hand in my pocket until I need it. If its really cold I have a pouch that i wear around my waist and I put my hands in there with a pocket warmer or two. I use that set up for waterfowl and rifle season as well. When I'm stalking I've never really noticed the cold. I think the adrenaline keeps that at bay.

I use those finger tip gloves with a fold over mitt that velcros back. Work wells for my truball release and rifle.

Golf gloves work well. The leather is thin and barely noticeable.
In single digit temps, for bowhunting from a tree stand, I'll wear one on my bow hand. Release hand can stay in a pocket if it is feeling chilly.

That said, not everyone feels the cold the same.
