What do you like best a tab or a glove?

I have shot tabs and gloves.  Both thick and thin.  I prefer a thicker glove.  Right now I am shooting a NEET glove with the calf hair tips.

I don't like the feel of the string digging into my fingers.  I shoot split and anchor my index finger to my canine tooth .  With a tab I have trouble finding that anchor.

Plus I never have to fumble getting a tab on the string without looking when it comes time for a shot on an animal.

exactly the way I do it, but I dont like putting leather in my mouth, doesn't it taste funny? [/b]

First, I don't really have a problem with that.  Sort of like when I was a kid and used to chew the lacing on my baseball glove.

But I don't really stick it in my mouth.  I just touch my tooth so all the glove is doing is touching my lips a little and my tooth.

I shoot split finger and use a calf hair tab.  I too like to be able to feel the string and also like the way I can flip it around and it's out of the way for pulling arrows, using my fingers, etc.

I shoot 3 under with a Cavalier tab. It helps with plucking the string that can occur once in awhile. The string just slides off the tab. Like Mack, I like the way I can rotate it out of the way.

Thanks guys, keep them coming.

Split finger, tab in the summer and whatever thin glove I am wearing during the hunting season works for me.

Simple cordovan 3under tab lasts nearly forever slick as it gets.

Thanks for the info.

Like creekwood, a shoot split finger cordovan tab, and during hunting season a thin jersey glove with the tab.  Has worked for me for a long time.

I shoot 3 under and make my own leather tabs..found that it will last forever and I can still feel the string. I anchor middle finger hard in corner of my mouth. Haven't had any troouble with it yet.

Charlie, sent you a pm and TTT'd an old thread about tab vs glove.

I prefer the glove over a tab. I tend to loose tabs, and I like the control of the glove. I recently picked up a Talon shooting glove on sale from Alaska Bowhunting. It is a real nice glove. I like the support and coverage of the nearly full glove. It is a bit too hot for summer stumpin though.

Glove for me.

I ordered two bateman tabs today, so I will see if I like them better than a glove.

I have been using a "SAM" Super Archery Mitt for at least 6 years after a lot of experimenting it seems to be the best of both worlds.
