I found that the Neet calf hair tab with the 3/8ths felt spacer works for me.I cut out the spacer and stitch the tab together around the back side of where the spacer was removed. Keeps my fingers protected and I can feel the string and nock comfortably.Jim G

Tough to beat them Bateman tabs. They will last awhile as well.

After going through several calf hair tabs I tried the Bateman Cordovan. The Bateman lasts 10 times longer. Been using the same tab for 4 years with very little sign of wear.

I think the Bareman gets better with age, not like some of us. Four years and an average of 40 arrows per day. After a while it really forms to the fingers.

The only way to know if you will like a tab is try some different ones.

I have a Cavalier coming from 3-rivers any day. My draw hand fingers hurt and I'm going to see if a tab  helps. I prefer the feel of a glove but I might need more protection?

I recently switched from split finger and a glove to 3 under and a cordovan tab and my shooting improved drastically.

I've got an Eagles Flight tab like the one above but in cordovan.  Best tab ever and really comfortable too.

The super archery mit, it goes by other names, is the only tab I use.  I make my own from different thickness of leather and I get the feel I want depending on thickness.  I've been using it for over 10 years, I don't see switching to a glove anytime soon.

I also make my own tabs, you can use any thickness leather you want and get the feel of the string that you want. Pretty easy to cut out of leather with a good pair of scissors.

The Cavalier Elite arrived today from 3-Rivers. I don't use the doo-dads for finger separation (I shoot 3-under) or the flat top for under the chin anchor.  

After just a bit of shooting I think I'm going to like this tab a LOT! It is easy on my fingers and doesn't hurt my face like a couple other tabs I've shot. I really like the metal frame which rides against the string as I set my fingers under the nock.

This is a very pricey tab but I think it will last a very long time. I ordered a back-up within a couple hours of receiving this first one. I only wish it was for 3-fingers under instead of split-finger. But it still works fine for 3 under.

I'm also going to try the Widow 3-finger under tab based upon my best friend's recommendation.

I just tried my new Eagle's Flight Calf-Hair 3 under and I love it. I have a Cordovan too, and it's a good one, but Don's right-on about the Calf-Hair.

It's the one pictured on the previous page. Awesome Tab.
