Cavalier Elite tab

I still have no idea how you guys anchor corner of the mouth with the tab in the way.  Do you touch with the finger or the leather of the tab?  I've tried it and it feels like I'm holding my wallet to my face. lol

Nam,

Finger on the tooth.  If the leather is covering the tips of your fingers, you need to trim it down.  When I shoot with a glove it feels like my hand is a few inches from my face!  I guess it is all what you get used to.

That makes sense.  I've only seriously shot with a tab during olympic style.  With this style, you hold the string pretty much in front of the joints so you need all that leather to cover your finger tips too. But if you're in the grooves, you don't need all that extra leather and you can just trim it.  Thanks, Steve.

I use it with first knuckle and love it. I've found it easer on my fingers and that it offers enough protection for my fingers and correct alinement to allow me to shoot with my fingers without pain.

I think I have four different Cavalier Elite tabs, I always end up with tabs scattered all over. I have one rh cordovan and one lh cordovan that I use for shooting split finger.
If you take a left handed tab, turn it over, cut off part of the aluminum and part of the material you end up with what I would call the ulimate in two finger under right handed tabs. I have one of those in calf hair and one in super leather.
As I recall Lancaster Archery has some of the left handed ones on a good sale right now if you want to try that. I will post pics when I remember where I put those tabs.

BTW another trick a fellow trad ganger taugtht me is to use welders chalk shaved off on the edge of the aluminum to slick up the tab.

I use that tab, and really like it.

I just got the Cavalier Ultra Lite tab, the cheaper, but somewhat similar tab to the Cavalier Elite, and like it alot. I'm used to the finger hole type tabs, though, so I'm still trying to get used to the draw string.  With the finger holes, I can easily flip the tab out of the way to use my hands and fingers, but haven't figured out how to do so as easily with the draw string yet.
