Another fan of the Fred Eichler cordovan tab...they break in quickly...once trimmed to your length, and give a nice clean release.

Thanks for all the great advice. I feel that my Fred Eichler does give a smooth release after 2 or 3 days of shooting it.  It is more consistent.

I love calf hair tabs, and most likely always will.

However, the quality seems to be going down hill on the newer ones I have been getting.

Bateman cordovan hands down!  I carry a Neet cordovan as a spare in my wallet because it doesn't have a spacer of any kind.  I don't think it's possible to wear out a cordovan and they just get better with age.

I've come to believe that the keys to shooting well for me are good form, trusting the bow to do all the work, and having the confidence in the bow and myself to remain motionless and relaxed at release until the arrow hits the mark.

Cordovan. I use Bateman tabs, but I am going to try a 3Rivers Fred Eichler tab because of all the good things people are saying about it.

Cordovan hands down. It's a nice slick release.
