which tab do you use?
« on: June 05, 2016, 04:42:00 PM »
just tried a tab after shooting with a glove forever. looking to buy a new tab.  I shoot 3 under and usually shooting bows from 55-65 pounds. any recommendations? thinking I might like something a bit thick but not sure.

I like the Bateman 's and the Black Widow tabs however I am not sure about their 3 under tabs.

Pretty much any calf hair tab works well for me.

ok now I notice that their is defiantly 2 different types for 3 under, a solid piece and one with slits, much difference in shooting either style?

I use a Saunders Pak-Tab. The newer ones are not quite as good as the older ones I use, but still good nonetheless.

Ken,
I have been using the Rod Jenkins Signature tab since they came out and can recommend it highly. You can find them at Rod's site Safari Tuff or Big Jim's. Good luck with a tab and to answer your other question when I was still able to hunt I wore Sitka merino gloves and the tab over them. This combo kept my string hand warm and the tab was right there all the time.  

Regards,
Rick

Bateman 3 under tab and ron jenkins tab love both of these. I tried others but these are my favorites. The bateman is a little thicker than the jenkins tab.

I shoot split and use an Eichler tab from 3 rivers.
Do not follow where the path may lead.  Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail.

I use the Bateman tab. Whichever one you get, I highly recommend cordovan leather.  The stuff lasts forever and just keeps getting slicker the more you use it.  Had my Bateman cordovan for 3 years now and it actually better than when I bought it new. Probably the best 12 bucks I ever spent.

I've been using a Bateman 3 under cordovan. Took me a bit to get use to it I switched from an Amercan Leathers Big shot shooting split. I just made the switch to 3 under so far my accuracy has been more consistent. But  I could just be having some good sessions to we'll see how it goes in the next few weeks.

going to go with a Bateman cordovan tab and then possibly try a Jenkins. I wear a medium glove I assume that's what I should order for a tab?
