I started out with a glove when I got into trad earlier this year but switched to a tab in late September. So far I have not had any problems with it hunting but I have only hunted 2 weekends so far. Time will tell but I just did not like wearing the glove all the time is the main reason I switched.

I started with a glove then switched to a tab this summer. I love shooting with the tab but I went back to the glove after a few times in the woods when I had deer in front of me I found that it is easier to get on the string without looking.

Tab for over 50 years with never any problems.  Switched from a glove to a tab when bow fishing and never went back to a glove.

Used a tab for 40 years but switched to a glove last year because:1) I now shoot lefty and righty and use the same glove for both and 2) moved up a weight class and its easier on my fingers. Still shoot a tab with my lighter target bows.

I've adopted too many bows that needed a good home.

Tab for me. Gloves feel funny.

I used to shoot with a glove, but I was shooting purely instinctively (or habitually).  Now I use my arrow tip in my peripheral vision and I the arrow tip more under my eye with a tab.

Switched to a tab a long, long time ago. I can use a tab even when wearing light gloves.

Started wih a glove for a few years then switched to a tab and that's all I have used for about 30yr and haven't looked back.

When I used a glove it took some time to break it in and when it was broke in I had about 2-3 weeks before I had to get another glove. Then I went through the same process.

Wih a tab I can grab a new one and shoot a couple arrows and my tab is good to go.
