Anybody use camo facepaint on the tops of their hands? I just can't find the right gloves that don't take away from traction and sensitivity while using my pots.

I have always cut the finger tips off of mine.  I run a stitch on each side of the finger to keep them from unraveling further.

That right there. The oil from facepaints are not good on pot calls.

X3 I use thin breathable glove with some rubber or silicone grippers. I cut the fingers out of right "striker" hand and leave the left alone.

A burnt stick will work.

My pots just don't sound right with a burnt stick.

Same here.

My impression of gloves is that they are more for us than for the turkeys.

I doubt there are 10 hunters in the whole country who killed a bird wearing gloves they would not have without gloves.

Now a shiny pink/white face with a bobbing head is a different story and I do believe in a face mask...  But I have given up on gloves (unless I am wearing them for warmth).
Did I do that?

Fly fishermen are born honest, but they get over it.

I've always just cut the finger tips out of mine I ain't had any issues running my calls either. I do the same while im deer hunting in early bow season also.
