Hey Gang,
anyone know where I can get a hold of some cordovan material for making shooting tabs? I haven't had much luck in my search. Thanks, Matt

I went to Tandy Leather Co and picked out some good leather scraps with the right thickness that I wanted, cut my tabs and they work perfect! I paid about $5.00 for the leather that I'll be able to get about 6 tabs out of!

Try this site. I just bought a piece and it seems to be pretty good quality. It is quite a bit thicker than the plain cordovan 3-under tab I bought from Alaskan bowhunting supply, which I'm not sure is good or bad. I still need to cut a tab out of it and try.

Thanks Jeff, I just ordered some from them. Sounds good as I like it thicker anyways. Cheers, Matt
