Great explanation Art, so what you're saying is don't worry about that little piddle weight that I'm drawing.[8D]:D

I'm real glad to see you back and in good spirits!

RE: For the tab shooters:
 

Virtually every Olympic archer uses a tab and they shoot literally hundreds of arrows every day in their practice regimens with no problems.

New Guy here...first post...I've shot all types of tabs and gloves for the past 42 years started with my first bow when I was eight years old...from the heavy triple stiched Bear Gloves...to the fast plastic tabs...to what I'm shooting now...which is a Neet Palm tab...and shooting fast flight off a 60lb SkyBow recurve...and haven't flattened any fingers... I wouldn't worry about it...find something that will give you the cleanest release for your style of shooting...and enjoy...

Thanks Mac, yea, I'm finding that I'm liking my damascus glove about the best. I shoot at 55 pounds, so I'm not worrying about it much. Things make you wonder about varying opinions especially when they are coming from experienced archers like Byron who tell you to get the most protection on the fingers as possible. My Black widow super glove has about the most protection that I have used, but I can get a cleaner release with the bow shooting with other types.
