Default RE: finger setup

To compensate for the paradox, I just put the arrow on the rest (it must be kind of rest that will work with fingers), and view it from behind. Move the rest until the right side of the arrow's point looks like it is just visible from behind the left side of the bowstring. The arrow will be angled out to the left slightly. Easton's tuning guide shows how it will look.

For hunting, I like a glove because I can manipulate things better while I'm setting up my treestand, and eating snacks, digging in my fanny pack, and still be ready to shoot.

I wear my shooting glove under an insulated glove that has 3 fingers cut out. My hand usually stays pretty warm that way, and I can always stick in in a pocket if it does get cold. Keep it soft with a leather treatment cream of some kind. After it gets soaked in a rain, it can get pretty stiff, and that will screw up your shots.

Tabs will probably give you better precision shooting and consistency.
I've tried both, and don't notice a difference, but there must be one since serious target shooters use them.
I even know some hunters who use them, but I like a glove for myself.
