Leather?

[PaRecurver]

Great site! Very glad I found it. What type of leather do you guys use for making your own tabs? I was going to order some but never realized there were so many options (Chap Leather, Deerskin, elkskin, Eco-Friendly Leather,Embossed Leather, etc). Thanks

The best leather in my opinion is cordovan leather for tabs.But does cost a bit,usally cheaper to buy a cordovan tab already made.You can get a Bateman cordovan tab for around $12 to $14.I've been shooting the same Bateman tab for 4+ years.But it can be made from other leather but cordovan is my favorite.

I go to a local leather store (makes belts, etc.) . The often have left over vegetable tanned leather. I buy remnants and can make over a dozen tabs for a couple of bucks.

take a good look around house or local store that may deal in leather or have things made of leather. i was suprised what i found around the house to make a few tabs out of to find what thickness you like.

PaRecurver, send me your address and I'll send you enough cordavan to make a tab or two. It is absolutely the best to use.
