Tab or Glove?
 

In the same vein as a previous post (3-under or 1-over 2-under); who shoots with a tab and who shoots with a glove?

RE: Tab or Glove?
 

I use both. Basically, I prefer the glove for hunting and goofing around and a tab for serious target shooting. But I do go through periods when I only shoot one or the other. I've been in a glove phase for the past year or so. Before that, I was in a tab phase for several years.

I like a glove better then anything.

I've shot traditional archery (bowhunting)with a tab for thepast 36 years.Gloves have a tendency to get deepgrooves in the fingers and thiscauses the string to jump over theridges of thegrooves causing a bad release whichsometimes results in the fishtailing of the arrow.

I use gloves. I could never get used to a tab and gave up on them quickly. I only use cordovan leather tipped gloves however. As mentioned, regular leather will get grooves in them. Cordovan will not.

I have found I get a much cleaner smoother release with tab. But would prefer a glove.

I shoot a glove on my recurve but tabs are always a good chioce.

Glove but I have never tried a tab. I will soon.

RE: Tab or Glove?
 

I started with a glove and didn't really like it, so I switched to a tab and then it got "stolen" and a buddy had a glove so I tried that again. Now, I'm stuck on the glove because the second one was much better quality and I started shooting much better (probably mental).

RE: Tab or Glove?
 

Iheard the same about Cordovan. My gloves are not all that old and I am already making grooves. But with all thewonder materials we have today I am surprised there is not a synthetic glove that would be even better.

I just got a new Dura glove from 3-Rivers. It has cordura nylon tips. I really like this glove.

RE: Tab or Glove?
 

There's a few with synthetic tip overlays--whether they are better or not.......depends on who you ask. American Leathers has the Big Shot Slick Shot that has nylon overlays, Alaska Bowhunting Supply has the Skookum with some sort of synthetic tips, etc. For whatever reason, I can shoot my selfbow better with the Skookum, but use a Super Glove with my longbow.

RE: Tab or Glove?
 

Ive used the same tab for 7 years, trying a glove, an alaskan but no matter the glove it doesnt work for me yet

RE: Tab or Glove?
 

I use a tab. I just make 'em myself from $5 bags of scrap craft leather I get at Hobby lobby. Pretty easy to make since I shoot 3 under. The first one took a little while to get the right feel, but now, using that first as a template, it only takes about 10 minutes to cut one out with some EMS shears and a exacto knife for the hole. I always misplace them before I can wear them out, but I make 2 or 3 at a time and stash them. Been doing that for years, ever since I read Chuck Adams made his own that way.

RE: Tab or Glove?
 

I just picked up a glove made by vista and its basically a neet calf hair tab into a glove and I love it. I have the comfort of a glove and the clean release of a tab.

Haven't been shooting trad for long,(compound for years) but I made my own split finger tabs out of leather reminents and some hair on hide, and I love them.
