Tab troubles

[mmgrode]

Hey Gang,
   well, these past couple months I have been using the cordovan tab from 3 rivers.  I like the tab and it's durability, but I have one issue with it...the elastic finger cord.  When I shoot the cord(even with very tight adjustment) does not sufficiently keep the tab it place and it tends to gravitate down my finger.  Is there a way to remedy this or are there any other cordovan leater tabs out there that don't do this?  Perhaps one with a hole through the tab itself?  Thanks for the help, Matt

I use a cavalier tab with cordovan and has a finger cord but not elastic..after I got it broke in to shooting I tend to leave it loose now for comfort and it works great

[oops sorry]

I think that I have the same tab as you and haven't had that problem. For me the elastic would creep and get longer...cured that with a tiny spot of silicone seal at the location where the elastic serpentines through the tab. Maybe a little spot of silicone goop would leave a tacky pad for your finger? I like the tab when it stays put.

May seem like a silly question, but are you shooting with a deep hook.  I have seen several other shooting a lightweight tab with a fingertip hold, "loose" the tab upon release.

I actually prefer a very loose cord on my tabs, but then i shoot a pretty deep hook. I also trim my tabs to be as small as possible for the purpose.

My favorite tab is a Bateman cordovan tab,it has a finger hole and a leather backing.It cost $10 to $12,I've been shooting my last one for 3 years.

I like the Black Widow cordovan tab. It has a velcro strap and doesn't move much if any after dropping the string.

The tab MJB showed a picture of looks like a Screaming Eagle tab like Brunner used to sell. It is all I use.  They last forever, but I have a couple of extras in case they ever become unavailable.  Probably Screaming Eagle still sells them but I think I had to call to order rather than ordering directly off the web site.
