Finger shooting tabs
« on: September 29, 2014, 07:33:00 PM »
Can anyone recommend a good quality split finger tab that is comfortable and lasts a while I am shooting a cheaper horsehair thin tab and it's wearing out quick and after a couple rounds your fingers can feel it

Bateman cordovan.  Rocky Mtn Specialty Gear sells them. Probably others sell them as well but that is where I got mine from.

I rather like the Black Widow calf hair tab. Nice feel on the string and smooth release.  If I were shooting 60# or more, I'd get the heavier leather version.  Don't know if it's cordovan, but very nice.

x2 on the Bateman Cordovans. I have a 3-under version that I liked, but I switched back to split and just bought the split version. I like it just as much. I read somewhere on here that if you order direct from Bateman, you can specify the thickness. I can't confirm that, but I'm very happy with the two I've used.

I like the Fred Eichler tab Bateman produces with the integral finger loop. I think they sell it without the signature if it bothers you.

I found that making my own worked just fine. Trace yours out on a piece of cordovan leather it will last forever.   :thumbsup:

I'm a fan of the Saunders Fab Tab. Just the one layer without the can't pinch spacer. Lasts until you lose it or the dog chews it up!

Ditto on the Neet suggestion.  I like mine in cordovan.  Pretty easy on the wallet.  I could say that even if I didn't own an archery shop.

Leather piece from Hobby Lobby and a pair of scissors can yield one in a few minutes.
