I started making homemade tabs this year, I simply took a store bought tab and traced it on the back of the shaved calf hair leather and cut lines with sharp scissors. A friend gave me different thicknesses of the shaved leather to try so I have not had to buy any.

I thought the picture would come out bigger... blow it up, print and enlarge or whatever.

There was a pattern on here years ago. Maybe whoever posted it then could re-post. All you had to do was print it and cut out the pattern.

I have used a tracing of a commercial tab and it works well, but you have to have one to trace!.

You'll find one in the "Traditional Bowhunters Handbook" by T.J Conrads on page 105. There is also a pattern for a bow tip protector on page 108.
