Title: Heavy bows---glove or tab?
Post by: LocDoc on February 18, 2010, 04:53:00 PM
I don't shoot as heavy as some of you, but for you that do, what's your preference and what brand do you like the best?
Thanks

Can't touch Marlon.  If I shot his weights, I would use a baseball glove.  For my bows over 70# I use a superglove.  Less than that I use a grizzly glove or duraglove.

My bows are all between 75 and 80 pounds. I shoot the way Roger Rothhaar does, bare fingered with a triple-served string.

It is the cleanest, easiest way to hunt, and it doesn't even make callouses on your fingers.

Check it out in Masters of the Barebow. . .

Just remember it is single-served where the arrow nock fits on the string.

I have one of marlons bows or a bow that was made for marlon and it is a 100# at 28 and my favorite tab is the black widow tab cant beat them they are pretty thick and protect your fingers well

I've tried and can't make a tab work for me.  That said I've had good luck with the "Dura" glove by 3RA.  H

So. . . am I the only guy here who shoots bare-fingered, with triple-served strings?

It's smooth as silk guys. At least give it a try.

I dont shoot over 65# but always use either a SAM or a cordovan tab with spacer.  I tried shooting bare fingered and worked good but after a while I had problem that string would pull callous off finger....hurt like you know what.  Never did it again.
