Glove or Tab
« on: August 27, 2012, 10:09:00 PM »
Been gone for some time and now I'm back and been roaming the site.  What is your preference, a shooting glove or a shooting tab?

I've tried both, but am sticking with a Cordovan tab.  Works for me.

Cordovan tab for me also.  Used to use glove but tabs for several years no regrets.

Saunders Pak Tab for me. Very slick, impervious to water, and broke in out of the box. You can't get any better than that!

I've heard many shooters say their accuracy improved switching from glove to tab but have not heard anyone say they were more accurate with glove.  Still some prefer glove.  I switched to tab and haven't looked back... yet.

I will try a tab now and then but can never get the hang of them.

I learned with a glove so I am sticking with what I know.  

A tab always seemed like a target shooters thing using a recurve bow whereas the glove seems more suited to hunting with a longbow.

It can get cold here in northen Wisconsin during the hunting season.  I like to wear a jersay glove on my tab hand to help keep my fingers warm.  My fingers stay much warmer compared to wearing a winter glove with cut off fingers and then a shooting glove.  The cold leather of a shooting glove next to your finger tips does not make for an enjoyable hunt. I use Bates cordovan tab because I like cordovan leather and the elastic bands that hold the tab to the fingers.  The elastic band is adjustable for when you wear a winter glove (jersay) on your hand.

Have tried both.  I always seem to get a better release with a tab but seem to get a more repeatable anchor with a glove???  Right now I am using the glove.

This is interesting as I do the opposite.  I have shot both a glove and a tab and I always go back to the glove.  For the cold, I either wear a hand warmer (muff) and a loose fitting jersey glove over my shooting glove.  When the moment of truth comes, I just simply remove the jersey glove to shoot when in the stand.  If I am on a spot & stalk in the cold, I just wear the hand warmer (muff).

I did a post quite a while back on this tab vs glove question.  I'll see if I can find it.

I've come to believe that the keys to shooting well for me are good form, trusting the bow to do all the work, and having the confidence in the bow and myself to remain motionless and relaxed at release until the arrow hits the mark.

Okay, here it is.  Don't know if it will help you or not but it might.

I have tried a tab, but I don't like them because I am having to chase it around and fix it or whatever.  I like my glove cause I can put it on and not mess with it.
