Glove or a tab, what you shoot'n with ?

[smokin joe]

I have been using a Bear Paw glove the last couple of years.

I'm with JC on this. Tab is cleaner, but just doesn't feel right. Been shooting the American leathers Full Shot for about a year and a half - don't see anything out there I'd like better. Tried thinner full gloves prior, they haven'd been quite enough protection, and don't compare in fit and quality.

Cavalier Elite Cordovan tab for me.  I shoot split finger so I use the finger spacer but ditch the chin rest.

I used a glove for years, really like the Damascus style, but I get a cleaner release with a tab.  The glove is still more convenient for hunting, I just wish I shot as well with one as I do with a tab.

Damascus for me.

I shot glove for years until Dan Toelke asked me to try his tab.  I have never looked back. It feels so good at release and very natural.

Ive been off and on with both for several years. Ive settled on a black widow stic tite glove with nylon. Very clean release and super fit

[wetfeathers]

I found that a leather baseball batter's glove works best for me.  It's very thin so I can feel the string but thick enough to protect my fingers.  They're cheap too!

Glove. Middle finger finds the corner of my mouth easier.

I picked up (Neat brand name) tab after work today, dont exactly appear to be a high quality tab but it'll be ok for now, would like to try some of the better brands later on, also plan'n on a good glove & see which I like better.

Damascus glove - a tab feels way too thick for me.

X2.....I have two of them and I use my original one I've had since the mid '90s as a backup and for bowfishing. They are the "super leather" type and they are very durable but very pliable as well. Great tabs.

Well...done went & broke an arrow first thing, figured to try out my new tab, stepped out back door & just shot one from off the steps, from the angle the target sat I caught the side of the frame & it tail whipped the arrow, the back 8 inches smacked the corner edge & broke clean in two.


I shouldve known better than shoot it without a test drive, at least I can use the back piece to make one of those cool ink pens you see at the archery shops, always wanted one of those anyway.

Bateman Tab for me.

[Orion's Quiver]

Saunders Pak Tab. I'm new at this, so my fingers are tender. I use three layers. I recently tried shooting three under and find it works just as well. Just thinking of getting rid of that finger spacer thingy.

Kustom king calf hair tab

[Larrydawg]

Ben Pearson glove it's smooth black leather and I get a decent release with it. I've owned it since age 16 (35 yrs!)   I shoot one over 2 under.

American leathers crossover glove fits the bill for me. Just the right amount of protection while still providing some feel of the string. I need to get a back up just like it.
