I used to be the same way with the tab.  

I went to a cordovan tab (Alaska bowhunters supply had them not sure if Ed still does or not).  I bought a few and still have most of them, the few I don't I've lost, they wear a looooong time!

Personally I think a tab will give you a cleaner release.   I like gloves that don't pop off.  Dunno why I cant go back to the Damascus, but I shot out quite a few of them.  

Someday I'll figure it out hopefully lol.   As long as they keep making bigshots I'm happy!

I have always heard that tabs give you a better release, but I can't shoot one for the life of me.  Horrible release, can't feel the string, don't feel like I have a good grip on it..

Too close to the season to try to start now..

Is the string in the crease of the first finger joints or is the string between the first joint and the end of your fingers ?  Can't remember what to call that area.  With a glove, I used to have the string out near the ends of my fingers.  For me, that won't work with a tab.  I have to have the string in the crease of the first joints.  One result is that I am stronger during drawing and holding.  The other result is that my release is better.
