My vote goes to Skookum Cordovan's by Alaskan bowhunting.  I have shot most of the above mentioned (bateman's, black widow, 3 rivers 3 unders, a variety of cheapos etc) but I just like the thickness and feel I get with the skookum.  Above all, one should buy several and try them all out.  I have gone back and forth for years but really always shoot the best with the Skookum.  (I must mention though, that I remove the spacer on them, again a personal thing)

I shoot both the Yellow tab from ABS and the one posted by Night Wing.  Prefer the Cordovan.  I just got a tab from Screaming Eagle but only shot a few arrows with it.  Did notice it was very thin though.

Black Widow 3 under tabs for me.

I found them to be the thickest one's I could find it our local stores.
I found with the thinner ones I was suffering from numb fingers after an extended practise session.

I really like the Black Widow 3-under in super leather.  While I would prefer cordovan, the super leather has held up very well over the last two years.

For me, simple is best. Love the thin cordovan tabs, no spacers, no layers. Your fingers will toughen up a bit and you get a fantastic "feel" for the string. I shoot 3 fingers under but prefer a split tab, probably because I'm just plain screwed up. But I love 'em. My shooting partner swears by a layered tab. To each their own I guess.

I hate the elastic strap on the Bateman.  Matter of fact, if somebody wants a large lefty just let me know.  I prefer a thin cordovan with finger hole.

I really like the Neet PF-T.  It has a pinch free tab made out of felt with a supper leather front and sued backing.  $6.95

I have used the cordovan W&W and the Cavalier Elite.  Both work fine for three-under, but I just seem to shoot the Cavalier better.

I'll throw another vote in for the Neet Pinch Free Tab - super leather.  I modify mine a bit by removing the felt spacer then gluing the suede finger separator pieces back together with Barge cement.  It still provides pinch protection, but allows me a much better feel of what's going on with the arrow and the string.  I've tried almost every tab on the market and I always come back to these.  They are simple, high-quality and inexpensive.

I like the EFA tabs. The calfhair 3 under tab in the lower right of the photo is what I shoot. Calfhair doesn't last as long as the cordovan tabs, but then they only cost $12.00.    :archer2:

I like the Sanders fab tab the best. Slick, smooth, impervious to weather.

Angel tabs, do a search. I take a size 17.5 ring and their extra large is the only one that fits me! That is not why I shoot them though, they last forever and are the best out there IMO. Shawn

Blackwidow super leather for me.It takes a while to break in, but offers great finger protection.
