Can't wait till Scott builds this for him as a split tab.  Always quality goods from Rod, and Scott's leatherwork is at the top of the class.

I just ordered one. Usually, tabs come in large and extra-large, and I order large. Rod's tabs come in S-M-L, with no XL, so I ordered M, assuming maybe his L also covers XL?  Anyway, I'll let you know how it fits after I get it.

Post up how the sizes run.  I have tried a couple target type tabs, but they  scuffed my face with my high anchor.  These look nice. I have been shooting my Eichler both split and 3 under.  Have not found a three under I like.

I shot with mine for the first time this morning. I found that it worked best if I had the lanyard around my middle finger bone, rather than the finger bone closest to my hand, as I would normally do. This felt a little awkward to me at first, but by the end of the morning it felt fine. It kept the tab in position so that the string naturally fit against the rib on the tab, and also in the end joint in my fingers. I'm also going to try a large size, to see which one I like better. I was shooting well enough that I plan to stick with this tab to see how it works out after I've been using it for a while.

I would say that medium is definitely medium. Order large if you have any question about whether you should be in a medium or large size.
