A Simple Leather Tab....

[Roger Norris]

I have shot a traditional bow since I was about 6....well over 40 years. In that time, I have shot pretty well, but always struggled (I felt) with my release. I have tried every glove known to man. I tried Black Widow tabs, the SAM tab, even a golf glove.

Today I grabbed just a simple thin leather tab and shot a few arrows. Perfect. I shot some more. Best release I remember in a long time. I shot about 100 arrows, and completely love the simplicity, and perfect release.

Go figure....over 40 years with a bow in my hand and all I needed was a thin simple tab.

Cordovan?  I have shot with a Bateman tab for many years. I think I would cry if I would lose it

I have shot with a Bateman cordovan tab for several years.  They are great tabs.

Sometimes simple is the best way to go......

Eichler tab here for the same reason.

I use a Neet cordovan tab. Thin layer of leather on the back. No spacer. Can't get much more simple. Less than $10. Works fantastic.

I use a Screaming Eagle tab. It is one single layer of Cordovan leather. I love it! I get mine from Grandpa, a member here.

X2 on the Screaming Eagle cordovan tab. They are slick and work great.

I completely wore out a Screaming Eagle cordovan tab. Quite a testimony to my practice habit as you can't wear one out... I surely would like to get another one.

I make my own two under tabs out of 4oz nubuck leather. Best thing since bare fingers!

simple is best for me, too.  i'd never buy 'em, have always made 'em since the 50's.

cut out of thin latigo leather ...

Exactly......

I switched to a tab for the same reason.  I like an Angel tab best.

A friend of mine in the TBG made this. He cuts them out of cordovan and ads the Velcro. Best I've used.

Thanks
