I have spent the last 15 minutes trying to find if anyone makes a tab for shooters like me. I shoot 2 under. I find I get a smoother release. The tabs for 3 under have too much material. I have thought of cutting it off but its awefully thick to try sewing. Anyone have an idea where I could get one? I'd prefer a sponsor here.
G'Day,
Try using a normal split finger tab (1 up 2 down)
the type with the hole for your middle finger.Cut the upper section off and place it on your index finger (hope that makes sense), hey presto two finger tab.

Hmmm, I think I have one of those. Why didn't I think of that. I am in my experimenting stage
I cut my own tabs from scrap leather I picked up from Tandy Leather for like $5.00, I get about 8 tabs from this piece of leather! You could cut your own and tweak it the way you like!
My dad shoots 2 under. uses the split finger tabs and cuts the top (index finger) off.
I had a few of these when I sold Sipsey River. Big Jim's should still have them. Call him at 229-344-6617.
Greg, I've been shooting 2 under for the last couple years. I'm switching back to 3 under...just easier on my fingers.
I had been using a S.A.M. tab. It's made for shooting split. I just trimmed mine down a bit with scissors and it works great!
I also tried cutting down several other types of tabs, just never found one I liked better than the SAM.

That's exactly what I was going to say. :D
Greg:
Are you sure you need to trim a tab, whether a split-finger tab or a 3-under tab, for your 2-under style?
I shoot 2-under and use a conventional Black Widow 3-under tab. I simply hold my ring finger out of the way alongside the pinkie. The leather that would normally protect the ring finger is there but it doesn't impede anything.
I can't say how this would work with other tabs but it works great with the Black Widow which is a very high quality tab.

Hi Mark,
That is what I am doing now but occassionally when curling my ring finger back it gets caught on the extra leather. I probably should curl it before drawing but I actually do it while I draw.
I cut up a tab last night but haven't tried it. I will do that tonight.
Will see if I can find out who e.w. bateman is.
Thanks for all the help!
