Tab or Glove?

[MonRiver]

I shot with a tab when I started.  Then I switched to a Damascus glove.  Then I gave up archery for about 8 years.

I started shooting again in June and started out with my tab, bought a new Damascus glove, went back to the tab, and am now using a Bear Paw glove that I absolutely LOVE.

I'm not sure why, but I seem to "slap" my face with a tab.

I like a tab, just personal preference, however I worry about misplacing it, dropping it, losing it on the way to my stand etc.  I carry an extra broken in tab but it's just one of those things I wouldn't worry about as much if I was shooting with a glove, maybe I'll switch!

Get a BackFortyGear Ultra tab... models for both 3under (I have and use one) and split finger.

I prefer a glove. I have tried a tab and it was ok for me. I liked my American Leathers bigshot glove better. Until I got the American Leathers Bigshot Crossover glove. Really like the way it feels.

X2 Best glove for me.

I've been shooting with a glove for years and recently switched to a tab, however my shots became very inconsistant and I wasn't shooting any groups.  Last night I switched back to a glove and immediately started shooting accurate and consistant again.  I think for me, with a glove the leather is thinner and I can feel the string better and feel more in tuned with the bow.  With a tab (well the one I have) there is much more padding and I'm not able to get a good release.  Could be a lack of practice with the tab, but since hunting season is just around the corner I'll stick with my glove until after season. Maybe I'll try the tab again after the seasons over.
