I've been using a glove (currently a Shultz by American Leathers) for 20 years I've tried a tab a couple of times but for me it just doesn't work,,Frank

I shot a Berlin then a Super glove for many years.  A few years ago I went to a tab and have no intention of going back.  Currently shooting a Saunders plastic Nam Tab.  I think it's called a Pac tab now.  I started using it for bowfishing and liked it enuf to keep using it for all my shooting.  I've been on the same tab for at least two years now and is shows no sign of giving up the ghost.  Cordovan leather tab would be my second choice.

I use one of those grizzly gloves from Braveheart Archery. Best glove I've ever used.

Tab. The gloves seem to form a groove and catch the string. My tabs seem to last forever.

For 3D and target shooting I use a Black Widow 3 under tab and for hunting I use a Damscus soft glove.

Big Shot glove. The elk skin model. I used the Neet cordovan glove all last year, but found that it never stopped stretching! It started of really tight & ended up 2 sizes too big!
Just can't seen to get it right with a tab. Everything I shoot goes a foot right of where I'm aiming, compared to a glove.

Saunders "Fabtab", & Cavalier Elite liteweight tab.

Tried a glove, but never got comfortable with it. Will try a glove again, but this time, something quality. My last glove was a "cheapy" so I won't pass judgement on gloves till I can try a few good ones.

Any suggestions from glove shooters?

I've shot a superglove for the last 2 years, liked it ok, but it never had that perfect fit, so I bought a few more of them, trying to get one that fit me better, never happened, then when my favorite fell apart a couple weeks ago, I just sat down and made my own from a piece of elk hide and the cordovan tips off my favorite glove.....Man I should have done this long ago, I now have a glove that fits me like a second skin!!.. and it wasn't hard,just took me a couple hours...........Steve

I have always used a glove...for about 50 years. Five or six years ago I went to a friends home to scout and shoot. I forgot my glove. He loaned me one of  his simple cordovan tabs and I haven't used a glove since. Don't know how I ever shot well with a glove, now, but that tab gives me the best relaese I have ever experienced.

Saunders slick tab for the past 6 months. I used a glove for 42 years. I changed when I started shooting 3-D in the Southern states and had to change golves 3 or 4 times during a shoot due to sweaty wet gloves. The more I shoot the tab the more I like it, but it is like everything thing else you have to get use to it. It took me about 2 weeks to get use to it. I like it alot.

I like to shoot with a thin deer skin glove or "damascus" style glove for practice.  When hunting I wear a pair of thin uninsulated deer skin gloves and I like to practice with something similar to what I hunt with.  Although I am going to try a big shot glove to just see what the hype is all about.
