Who Uses a Black Widow Tab
« on: November 20, 2007, 09:46:00 AM »
When I first tried one, I didn't like it, seemed like it was making more noise than my other tabs and felt different in my hand.  I finally figured out that it was too large, did some trimming and that solved the noise problem, plus I like the positive string placement. The more I use it the more I like it.

Have used them for a long time. Like you, I started trimming them. I use a size Large and trim them back to just a little shorter than my fingertips.

I have used them, the only thing i didnt like was sometimes the pads that lay alongside the nock will lay down, and if ya are watchin a deer or something ya have to fiddle with it to make it right, other than that I like them alot, usually shoot the calf hair tab. But I like the king tabs better that have the little foam spacer and the pads glued to them. seems to be a more comfortable tab for me.

I have used the BW palm tab for years. I am the only guy I have ever seen use one.

They were all I used to shoot, thinking of going back to them or a Cavalier.

I had a couple of the 3 under calf hair tabs.  I liked the way that they shot and felt, but didn't think they were very durable.

The rubber under the calf hair in mine kept ripping out after about 1-3 months of use.  This happened to 2 of mine and I quit using them.

Pretty much all I shoot...worst part is I'm always loosing them,,,my bad.  I think I have figured out a good solution though.  I've glued on a piece of velcro to my riser so when I'm done hunting the tab gets stuck onto the riser velcro by the finger loop.  That and I always keep four or five tabs scattered around the truck, various hunt pants, my fanny pack etc.  I'm pretty bad about loosing them.

I really like the positive finger placement.  Allows me to miss consistently...  :goldtooth:

I really like them. When the velcro carks it, I replace it with sewing elastic.

I just got one and so far I don't like it...think it might be to big.  I usually shoot a size large with other brands and got a large, but I have fairly small hands.  Haven't given up on it yet, but so far I prefer the ones with a plastic piece between the fingers.
