Have yet to find that perfect combination. Liked the Big Shot glove for awhile but it is just too thick in the stalls. Don' t care too much for the Damascus style. Presently using a Neet glove with calfhair finger stalls.

Just received a Bateman single thickness cordovan glove this evening via UPS. Shot a bit in the back yard and the arrows were almost missing the target way to the left at 10 yards. I tried three fingers and two fingers and it didn' t seem to matter. I was really hoping this glove would be it.

Don' t care for tabs very much. Haven' t found one yet that doesn' t expose my ring finger to a whole lot more punishment than I care for it to receive.

I perfer a tab.(calfhair)
PSE makes a good one. I picked up three calfhair tabs made by the nothamerican archery group( they were cheap) it has a finger spacer which I like and they are thicker than the kantpinch tabs. which I find give me a smoother release with the string rolling off a flatter surface than with a thinner tab rolling in the groves of my fingers. I have' nt tried a glove since I first started. The thingsI did not like about the glove I had was it developed string grooves in the fingers after a while affecting acurracy. and a tab is easier to flip around to the backside of my hand when I need to use my fingers. I also refer a monofilament or halo serving they don' nt pull the hair out of my tabs.

Hello
I prefer a tab as well. A glove seems to make my fingers feel fat and clumsy.
I use a wilson three fingers under tab currently.

Gloves for me--I started shooting wheels with a tab, don' t remember exactly when I swapped to a glove. I bought two or three different tabs a while back, and they all just feel weird now. I like my Superglove, but I would not buy one via mail order--the sizes don' t mean much, as I have tried on some " large" that were as big or bigger than an " extra large" , etc. I get mine from a vendor at a shoot, where I can try them on. I like my new American Leathers " Big Shot Slick Shot" ,l but not sure yet if I like it well enough to pay $30+ for another one.

I was finally able to get my new single thickness cordovan glove from E.W. Bateman to shoot well today with the heavier poundage recurve. I' m getting a great and crisp release with it and it protects my sore ring finger much better than any other style glove or any tab I' ve tried.

Bill, if your ring finger is getting sore, most likely you are doing what I did (and still catch myself doing at times)--torquing the string . You may be pulling with a lot more pressure than you need to with the ring finger, which can cause problems. It took me a little time, and concentration, but I have pretty much got it whipped (still gets me now and then, but not much).
