Do you prefer a tab or glove?
-

Thinnest gloves I can use....currently use Damascus gloves.
-
Im tryin out the tab at this time.
-
Used to use a glove, switched to a tab and won't go back to the glove.
-
Big Shot glove for me.
-
I've found that I shoot the best with no tab or glove.
-
Got used to a glove and a tab or barefingers just feels strange to me....Shawn
-
i shoot a black widow tab, never felt comfortable with a glove
-
Tab ftw.
-
tab
-
used a glove for ever but just recieved my black widdow leather tab a few days ago and i shoot alot better with it. so im sticking to tabs know
-
love my bw tab. I'm not sure about you bare finger types like mystic. I'm good for one or two shots and then I cry like a girl. Makes practicing barefinger a bit tough with all my buddies laughing at me.
-
Black Widow tab for me. They last forever.
-
I like my glove for my longbow and a tab for my recurve, it's personal preference
-
I keep trying tabs but prefer a cordovan glove.
-
A Bateman split finger cordovan tab for me. Gives me a cleaner release than a glove.
-
I shot with a glove for years,then tried a tab and never looked back.I get a cleaner release and it's easy to flip out of the way when I need to.
-
Started with a glove, but didn't really like it.
I switched to a tab about 15 years ago, and have been using one ever since.
The last 6-7 years, I've been using a homemade tab. I took a SAM tab apart for a pattern, and made a couple out of Cordovan.
If they ever wear out, I'll make another, no glove for me.
-
Tried a bw tab, actually got a cleaner release, but I hit my nose and smack my lip when I release...probably just me!
-
Big shot glove, best I have found
-
Started out in 1971 with a glove and just never changed, just like I am still using a Astro II I got in the 70's, saw no need to change. But just bought a new bow so maybe will give a tab a chance. :bigsmyl:
-
Tab for me. Used a cordovan single layer for years but have switched to a Fred Eichler (3R) tab and really like it better. Smooth release, good protection, and can feel the string good.
-
I have and do use both, but prefer the tab, I feel a cleaner release.
-
I just voted and it is exactly 50-50. I guess it is really all just personal preference.

tab now, but shot a glove for 15 years..
-
I tried a glove back in the 50's and went with tab in the 60's. Made my own for a long time, but am going to try a Fred Eichler and see how I like it.

Me too...though I nearly always hunt bare fingered, I sometimes use a tab , very occasionally a glove .
-
Gloves for me... I've tried tabs but I just feel better with a glove (I shoot split fingers).
-
Always used a glove, Big Shot and Damascus in use now, but just got the new 3R catalog and like the look of the Fred Eichler tab. One on order soon for a try out.
-
Basically tab for targets, but glove for hunting.
In general I want cordovan on both my tabs and the finger tips of my glove.
I shoot pretty much two under and I make my tabs by turning over an opposite hand Cavalier Elite and modifying it.

:p

tab... I can make 1 in about 2 minutes
-
Start with a glove switched to a homemade Cordovan single layer tab.
-
It is totally personal choice here. I shot a glove for a long time. For a reason that is not really applicable I switched to a tab. Cant seem to go back now and I have tried a few times.
-
Used to use a tab. Now I use a glove and prefer it over a tab.
-
Wow. I would've bet a lot of money that gloves would be at least 80%. I'm very surprised.
-
I jsut viewed the poll after voting, its 67/67. Tied right down the middle....
-
Black Widow palm tab. Been using them for years. As a matter of fact, I have never seen anyone else use one. Weird, uh?
-
I've tried both, but have pretty much stayed with a glove. I just received a new Black Widow Stick-Tite glove last week. I have only shot it a few sessions, but I really like the long finger stalls and the design.
-
I use a basic Bateman tab, has worked for me for years but I may give a Black Widow a try soon.
-
big shot glove here
-
Tab for me. I started out shooting a glove but after I discovered the Saunders Fab Tab I've never looked back. Much slicker and cleaner release with a tab for me.
-
Tab

I've tryed both! I ended up going with the american leathers glove. Been shooting it a couple years and wouldn't have anything else. Jason
-
Bateman cordovan tab.
-
Tab, cut at home from 2 mm leather, I couldn't cope bare fingers anymore
-
Alaskan bowhunter cordovan super tab for me.
-
No glove, No tab, Bare fingers here.
-

-
Tabs for me.
-
Black Widow Split Finger Leather Tab for me. I always carry a well used spare with me when I am in the field. They are tough and durable.
