Glove to Tab

[shadman]

I switche to tab years ago and never went back. I feel that I get a cleaner releas with a tab and the cordovan tabs wear forever.

It's weird. I started with a tab & I had no problem with it. I experimented with gloves & decided I prefered them. Now, when I shoot with a tab, the string slaps me.

I shot with a glove for well over 50 years. I went to a friend's house to shoot on his property and forgot my glove. He let me use one of his cordovan tabs and that is all I have been using since. I have a drawer full of gloves and occaisionally I will get one out and try it.  That rarely lasts for one round or two before I reach for my tab. Much nicer release...for me, anyhow.

I still sitting on the fence on this one.

Like many others, I started with a glove back in the 60s......if Fred Bear used one, I was going to use one.

I tried a tab (for the very first time) about two months ago or so.  I borrowed one. I tried it for about 3 shots and handed it back.  Not impressed. I think the big issue with me was how different my anchor felt.

However, one thing that age has done for me is to make me focus on things more intently (and also focus on NOT being resistant to change).  I decided to give it one more shot.  I tried a friend's BW tab and that one wasn't too bad.  I actually shot good groups with it and it felt somewhat better that the previous tab.

So now, I think I'm to the point where I may actually buy a couple to give them a more thorough testing.  Who knows......one is never too old to learn new tricks!  Meanwhile, I'll still keep my glove!

Alaska bowhunting supplies has some nice cordovian tabs that are just super slick with a great feel.  It is a different feel and a matter of personnel preference.  You should shoot with whatever your comfortable with and that your most accurate with.  Keep shooting --------->
