Glove
“instinctive archery” is more like playing the violin. Without practice you may remember the mechanics, but you will not be a virtuoso.

Cordovan Tab from Kustom King, I have shot the same one for 4 years now and thousands of shots and it will be good another 4-5 years easily. Shawn

I used a tab for years. Recently I tried a Black Widow glove with the overlays on it. I am shooting better with the glove. My release was not as consistant with the tab, so for now i'll stick with the glove.

Glove for Neet. They are cheap, reliable and available around home. They just take a little breaking in and oiling. My last one lasted 4 years of 3D and lots of yard practice.

I shoot with a tab I made myself out of cow hide. I use it all summer and when hunting season rolls around I shift to bare fingers. My hands get cold late season, and I wear unscoured wool mittens I get in Newfoundland. When I have a shot I just pull my hand out of the mitten and shoot. I hunt with a 46 lb longbow, so a flemish string is easy on my fingers. Works for me.

Gloves; Damascus and an Alaskan. I like the padded fingers on the Alaskan when your shooting fast flight.Some low strand fast flight strings feel like piano wire when you draw them.This is what my Bud Bucky says.

Been shooting finger tabs for over 35yrs. I make my owm tabs but this year I am shooting with a leather glove that covers my whole hand. I am tired of the mosquitos trying to eat my fingers off.
I may give out but I will never give up.

I swithed over to a tab this year. Improved my shooting big time.

Damascus glove. Then to a black widow tab. Now back to the glove. I prefer the glove is all.

ummmmmmmmm...errrrrrrrrrr...i use a tru-fire 3d hunter release aid...recurve and longbow...the fingers ain't what they were thirty years ago and arthritis dictates it's use...  :(      :eek:
i was told by a sales person, when purchasing an out-of-date newpaper that it was out-of-date...

i told her "i've been told i'm out-of-date, too"...

does that mean i'm up-to-date?
