I am just amazed that so many people use a tab.  I couldn't use one if you paid me.  I torque the string a little the way I shoot and a tab just won't allow me to do that.

I have found the deerskin (light tan) gloves made by grizzley to be just perfect for me.

Poll results are a lot closer than I thought they would be.
I use a Damacus glove for now. I would like to try and use a tab so that I could wear a glove while hunting in colder weather.

I shoot a calf hair tab. Gives me a cleaner release.

Big Shot glove.  I love a tab, but got where I dug my anchor so hard into the corner of my mouth as I pulled through the release, the string started ripping my lip and nose tip up.  The glove works perfect....but thankfully, we are all different!

bare fingers when hunting, neet calf hair/widow tabs or thin glove when stumping.

I use a glove now, but have been thinking of going to a tab here lately.
