Chimere Criterium Shooting Glove

Post by 260 Striker »

Back about 1982 I bought a Chimere Ctrierium shooting glove and I think I have just about worn it out. I Googled but couldn't find any manufacturer listed for Chimere. Does anyone here know if this glove is still made? What other shooting gloves are popular today? I have several other gloves but they either have too much padding in the palm or not enough. The Chimere seemed to have just the right padding to help recoil but not interfere with your hold. Thanks!

You wore out your shooting glove after only 34 years? Sounds like it may have been faulty worksmanship, did you keep the receipt? :))

I think they sell them at the same place that manufactures and sells new Chevy Chevettes!

Craig,
No, I'm serious. I like this glove and have tears and holes in my old glove.

No doubt a good product, but hard to stay in business when your repeat customers are on a 34 year cycle..... =))

Try a lightly padded weight lifting glove. I like mine.
