3 Under Tab Suggestions?
« on: December 20, 2018, 10:15:22 AM »
I'm switching to 3 under and am looking for suggestions for a tab. I have the black widow tab but it seems a little too thick for my liking. I'm actually shooting best with an old calf-hair split finger tab. Any suggestions on a nice tab that isn't too thick?

Thank You!

There was a thread on tabs a while back, here it is.

When I shot 3 under I used the split tab anyway. I recommend the Bateman cordovan tab with the integrated finger loop. It is the one 3rivers sells as the Eichler Signature tab.

If you can find a leather thickness you like, why not make your own? Probably the easiest leatherwork project possible. I've been making my own for years loosely based on the Bateman.

A lot of folks like my shell cordovan 3 under tabs.



Or I also make shell cordovan SAM tabs!



If you'd like to make your own tab I have a little bit of shell cordovan remnants left that I sell in a bag for just $25!

I just made my own 3 under tab this week from some spare leather I had lying around. It's not cordovan but works real well. There at several videos out there on how to make one or do an image search to help get started. I'm no leather worker but the one tip I'll give is to sand the edges of the tab to give a smooth, comfortable edge. Start larger and trim a little at a time until you get the custom shape that works for you. Then you can cut aa many as you like and have extras everywhere!

I mainly use a Neet Monster tab. Not too thin or thick.
I have a Bison 3u tab also that is a little thinner but a good tab.

you cant beat a bateman cordovan tab for the price.....ive shot thousands of arrows on the same one and its not even remotely close to needing replaced...I prefer something I can adjust the tightness. I have a eichler tab I don't like as much because I cant get it tight due to its design
I'd rather be judged by 12 then carried by 6
