I have seen some very simple ones and some more intricate metal ones with special features. Face and pad options are also plenty (leather,super leather,calf hair,seal skin,cordovan leather). I shoot longbows and recurves split fingers 55# @ 28".

What tab do you use and what would you recommend. Please explain the convenience and inconvenience of some.

Thanks

I've been using a simple calf hair tab for years and years. Item Number: 4045X on 3 Rivers site. I really can't elaborate more than that other than to say it's comfortable, simple and it works.

E.W Bateman. Cordovan leather. Very durable. God bless.

I've been a glove shooter for more than 50 years. Tried a number of tabs over the years and could never find one I liked or could get along with, for that matter. Finally stumbled upon a Black Widow calf-hair split finger tab. That's about all I use for targets now, though I still do hunt with a glove.

Saunder Pak-Tab is the only one I use. It is impervious to water and broke in out of the box!

Pretty happy with the black widow three under at the moment.

E.W Bateman. Cordovan leather. Slick, smooth release, and very durable. I came from the target shooting ranks and shot Cavalier tabs for years. great tabs, but for hunting I much prefer the Bateman. Try one and you will see.

I use the Neet calf hair tab with felt finger spacer. Just don't see how you could make a better tab.

Well this is interesting. I was going to order a large LH AAE Cavalier Elite cordovan finger tab but the replies have me reconsidering that purchase. I would like to go with cordovan so I think I will give the E.W Bateman a try. Black Widow ones are also of my liking, unfortunately they don't offer cordovan they only have super leather and calf air.

On some sites you can get a BW tab with a plastic Anchor support option. I wonder if this BW Anchor option would be of any help or just a bother.

I have been using a SAM for more years than I care to remember.
I finally bought a new one to break in just in case I ever lose my original. I can't see ever wearing one out.

It protects the fingers, allows for a smooth release and hangs from my wrist while I am climbing trees or eating a sandwich!

Black Widow, super leather, split finger. Bought two over two years ago and they are still going strong.

Been using and happy with Wilson tabs for 40+ years. The newer ones seem to be made for extra skinny arrows and I trim the opening for the nock larger.

Made a few out of cordavan 9 years ago all are brand new except the one I use.
