X2 on the Eichler tab.
Bowhunting is a passion, not an obsession. Its just hard for my wife to tell the difference sometimes.

Another vote for the Eichler tab.

Like everything else it will come down to personal preference.  Keep trying different ones until you find one you really like.  I shoot a black widow tab that I have modified.

got the Bateman Cordovan yesterday. ordered the medium and quickly found out I should have ordered the large however it did work fine just caught the finger tips on release a few times. another thing that bugs me is my bottom finger gets caught on the tab and its a bit frustrating moving it behind the tab every time, maybe as the tab wears in and will push through a little easier?

One thing I figured out with tabs is they aren't all equal, not even in the same brand and model! So the short story is, ask whoever your buying the tab from to look through their stock of tabs and pick you out the thickest one they have if that's what you're worried about, or thinner etc etc.

As i wrote I'm shooting a SAM Super Archery Mitt  Tab from Martin.
My on is getting worn so I need a new one.
But I can't get a new one here cause Martin did not build them any longer.
Many of my buddies are shooting a handmade VLBB TAB from Laszlo Vaga.
The tabs are available in size L and size M, 78*78 and 70*70 mm. If you are unertain about your size he will send you a printable pattern, which helps you to decide. If none of them suits you there is still a customised size option.
You also can order different thicknesses between 1.2 till 1.9 mm
So yesterday I've ordered a  cordovan splitfingertab from Laszlo Varga (VLBB) in Hungary like the first image below but in orange and dark brown like the second image without any logo and fingerspacer.
The price without shipping is about 34$ for a hand made Tab.

           

 

I'm realy exited about this new tab and I will write a review after shooting the tab extensively and if you are interested.
Trying to get the bow a part of me!

If you want consistency in quality and a tab that will last a long time, giving you your money's worth, go with Rod Jenkins tab.

That VLBB looks solid!  I have a pair of Jenkins and a pair of Cavaliers as well.  Both are great for me.

When I shot split I used the Bateman tab. When I switched to 3 under I tried the Bateman and rods tab. I honestly didn't care for them. I use a black widow 3 super leather under tab
If you can get to a place and pick out the tabs they do tend to be different thickness
I love Bow Hunting

In your opinion the Jenkins tabs are worth the substantially higher price?  I like the looks of them but don't want to drop $36 until I see one myself.

Just purchased an Eichler and Jenkins tab. After testing them both, I'll be shooting the Jenkins this hunting season. It real is worth the higher price and comes with a 5 year guarantee.
