I first tried a tab when I got my first longbow back in the 90's. I found it far more convenient than a glove and needs practically no maintenance. It fits over a mid weight glove, which is all I need in the Georgia winter. They are not expensive, and I can carry a bunch of them to the stand. Considering how much stuff I drop out of the stand, that is a real factor. They cost less than a glove as well. Just turn it around on your finger and you can easily handle objects without dropping them. I have found a lot of reasons a tab suits me well and none that a glove does. However, you will find so many that find a glove much more convenient. I use the calf hair style, which is not expensive, so it would be very easy to make a side by side comparison to your glove.
