Narrowing down things.

[VA Elite]

I am starting to narrow down some things. Anchor, release, form. I also have been experimenting between glove and tab. Right now, it seems the glove is better for me. I am using a 3 under tab from BW as well just trying to narrow down which one is best for me. My glove is a large, I feel it may be too big, however, Im not sure how snug they are supposed to be. Should a glove literally "fit like a glove" snug to the finger tips? the one I have is not fit to the tips of my fingers and I find myself pulling at the glove to get it snug. Sorry, I just found and looked at 3 rivers size chart and found that with my hand measurement, I need a small! I am way off!

I think with a glove it's purely whatever feels/shoots best. If your glove isn't skin tight and you shoot lights out with it - then that's what you need to wear.

Now in theory, the better your glove fits the smoother your release should be. But if you're not having any consistency/accuracy issues with one that doesn't fit perfect then I wouldn't worry about it.

Also, certain bows may shoot better with a different release. My Kodiak Magnum only shoots well when I use a glove, but my main recurve shoots best with a tab. Just takes some playing around until you get it right.

I used to shoot my old compound with bare fingers and athletic tape on the string to make it easier on my fingers.  When I went to trad general info indicated that much extra weight on the string would slow it down.  I tried a glove and a tab.  I found that I got better releases with the tab.  I can also make a bunch by buying a nice piece of thin vegetable tanned  belt leather.  Each person is different though.

I will buy a small glove and shoot with it, if it doesn't work, then im going back to shooting the large glove, it's been working ok so far, but I want to see if I can do better.

Might consider ordering a small AND a medium - keep the one that fits best. I don't find the charts to always be accurate for my best fit. Most you'll be out is return shipping.

Was sure worthwhile for me when I ordered my last glove. Also keep in mind that gloves will stretch a little as they're broken in.

I always had to buy a size smaller glove because they streached in the heat of summer and my sweaty hand.
