Too many choices I called Lancaster today and ordered the Cavalier Elite in cordovan. I'll give it a go!

I picked up some split finger cordovan tabs off of a fellow tradganger, and I prefer no finger seperator. The Wilson style tab will work for me, but I like the feel of the string. The plain old tab is the best for me.

How long does it take to break in the saunders pac tab and the Skookum Cordovan Tab?
I like the cordovan slickness.
I an still on the hunt for the right tab for me. I love my BW or Wilson tab, but I don't like the curl I get on the top layer. It can take to much time to get on the string when hunting.

The skookum cordovan tab really surprised me on the very first shot - how quickly the string released, I guess. But after just a few shots one morning it started feeling really good.

I like thin tabs that allow me to feel the string. I use a single thick layer of leather cut to what used to be called a "Western tab" where there is a hole for the index finger and a bigger, oblong hole for both the middle and third fingers.

The Pak Tab is broke in when you get it. That's what makes it so great.

I have been using Black Widow palm tabs for 20+ years. I belive Neet makes them for BW. They are very good tabs. I like them for all the reasons that M Laughlin stated.

Yes, it's a very subjective thing. A tab that feels great to someone else may feel horrible to you. I had an easier time finding a bow that fit me well than a tab I liked.

I suggest trying to make your own-tabs are easy to make and you can mess around with different sizes,materials etc. maby you'll find just the perfect thing-it's always fun to hunt with stuff you made yourself anyway-seems to keep the spirit alive.

Is the Saunders pac tab cordovan faced? Where is a good place to get one? I have not found a sponsor source so far.

I liek the super archery mitt - feels good on the hand and I been using the same one for 21 years! Still goes strong as long as you keep care of it - for that I like the montana pitch blend dressing.
