I started off shooting a glove, bought a Big Shot and really liked it. Just this week i received my Bateman cordovan split finger tab, and I am really enjoying it. It is not too thick but offers enough protection for a 55# bow, and is slick as a cats A@#. I believe my release is benefiting from the tab right now, I can really dig into my anchor points. BUT just like everything, your going to be getting individuals opinions that work for THEM, take the guidance and follow your own path. Shoot both and have fun!!
