[LinemanARK]

I like a tab, but you should shoot with which ever you are more comfortable with, and more important the one you shoot the best with.

i shoot better with my tab, because its thicker.
with my glove i struggle to anchor for more than 2seconds after 10 or 20 shots , because my fingers burn like fire.
i see many people using the glove though, you should use what youre more comfortable with.
the tab can sometimes be annoying when pulling arrows etc,.

Glove for me.
I feel it gives a more consistent anchor for me over a tab.
Now you may feel the same about a tab after trying both.

99% of it is what you feel comfortable with - there's no right answer.  The other 1% is that a glove gives you a better chance of getting off a second shot when hunting because you can grab an arrow more quickly with a glove.  Of course 1% is probably an exaggeration of the likelihood that you'll see more than one or two chances at a second shot in your lifetime.

In the old days I used a tab.  Great to hunt with as you have full use of your bare fingers to do whatever.

Now I use a glove as it seems more comfortable.  A little more inconvenient though.  Need to take it off to handle those little dexterity problems.

Tab I just cannot find a glove I like. Try them both though.

[marlon]

I use the sams tab.

[Night Wing]

I shoot best with a tab.

[MikeM]

I use the tab because I can anchor more consistently and it just feels better to me

Both gloves and tabs are used by extremely successful hunters. The choice should be yours. What one archer may find as a pro may be a con to another. Being comfortable with what you take to the field is paramount.

I have shot a glove for a long time but just started shooting a tab. I like the feel of a glove better but a tab makes more sense to me for the hunting I do. I still use a glove for for bows that are over 60#.

I prefer a cordovan tab.

I used to shoot with a glove but switched to 3 under and a tab after going to Rod Jenkins shooting clinic. I am more accurate this way.

[Benny Nganabbarru]

A Black Widow tab for me, too. Just shoot what feels the best to you. Out of my small group of traditional bowhunter mates, four of us use tabs and one bloke uses a glove.

[stickbowmaniac]

Damascus glove for me.Locked loaded and ready to shoot fast if needed.

Cordovan tab from Bateman I have one 11 years old and still kicking !

You'll never see an Olympic archer shooting a glove , there is a  reason for that . But it is all about preference.

I shot a glove years ago, but tried a tab and haven't looked back.
