I shoot the Safari Tuff Tab. I like them a bunch and they seem to last a very long time. They come with a 5 year guarantee, mine has been going strong for over 3 years.... They do come in several sizes. :thumbsup:
Thanks guys
BigJim sells the Rod Jenkins tab , love it
Thanks guys
I like Batemans
Rod Jenkins tab...I have thousands of shots on mine and it just keeps getting better.

I have the same problem and I love the neet cordovan tab. its is designed for split, but i use it for 3u.
I can't stand a tab with any thick leather in the palm.

Exactly. I figure now when I find something I like I will get a lifetime supply.

^^^^^^this. Good idea Steve.

Consider the Legacy 3-under. It has a longer piece of leather for my middle finger, for more shooting comfort.
I have two Bateman 3-under tabs, and they worked well and are durable, but they left the tip of my middle finger (last 3/8"?) exposed, and I'd get a bowstring bone bruise on my middle finger after a long shooting session (yes, I'm keeping my elbow down).
The Legacy 3-Under is MUCH more comfortable to shoot. All smiles from my middle finger with using the Legacy. I use "medium" size, but got the large (an experiment) and needed to trim/grind it down to have it fit "just right." Easy peasy, and I'm happy with the result.
My next 3-under tab will be another Legacy, "medium" and not a Bateman, just due to the middle finger tip protection the Legacy design offers

My favorite is the death adder tab but it is not made anymore, but like Steve O I have 4 of them so good for a long long time, still on the first after 3.5 years. Otherwise I like the bateman for price and durability. Have not had the good fortune to try the Jenkins but looks very nice.
Thanks guys i do like the jenkins tab and goin to check out the toelke tab, i really liked the death adder tab love to get my hands on a 3 under med or small if anyone has extra tgey wanna part with , anyways thanks guys almost there set up n almost shooting good cant wait to post about that ...
Bateman cordavon. Made my transition from glove to tab very easy.

I shoot split rather than 3 under, but I totally agree with the above. Been shooting a glove forever, but just went to a tab in the last month, and the transition was seamless.
What's you boys reasons for shootin the tab over the glove?
I just received a couple tabs from Laszio Varga located in Budapest Hungary. I got his name off this forum. These are some of the best tabs I tried and I have all of the mentioned above. Check him out you won't regret.
Check our Eagle Flight tabs, great tabs, I have three, and their priced right at $12.00
I shoot a Saunders 3 under tab that is really slick plastic. Rainy days are no problem.
I tried all the above and never liked the feel of them. I started making my own from scrap leather from a local furniture shop and finally got exactly what I want. It has to be really "floppy." That is the only way I can feel the string like I like.
Jenkins safari tuff tab is fantastic! Feels great and releases sooo smooth : :)
Just ordered a Fred Eichler tab
I second the Saunders tabs. They are really slick and you can add or subtract layers on it. I use just the main plastic part that has the finger ring and a thing piece of leather behind it. Good feel and really slick
I make my own, almost identical to Rod Jenkins. Tim B- I shoot a tab because the release is so much cleaner and they don't develop a groove just when they are starting to get broken in, plus I can make my own, any thickness or size I desire.
Been using the same cordovan tab from Screaming Eagle for at least 8 years. Had a backup for when it wore out and never needed it. Still in great shape.
