Title: Favorite Cordovan Tab! Where can I find one?
Post by: Ryan Sanpei on November 04, 2012, 01:47:00 PM
Hey Gang,
I've grown to love these BW cordovan tabs.  The only problem is that they don't make the one in cordovan anymore.  I have a couple left, but with my wife shooting trad too, I need to start looking for a new source. A few of my friends are in search too.  At this point, I don't want to switch, I want something almost exact to this.

Thanks!
Ryan

I also like BW tabs....I also use a similar one from Eagles Flight, The Quiver Folks.....good quality and not to pricey! I heard that Toelke makes a good one also!

If you find someone to make them , I will buy several as well..

I have been shooting the BW cordovan for a few years and mine is cracking up just like yours..
I'm going to hate to see it go and I haven't found a replacement yet ...

Someone please help ....

Been shooting Bateman cordovan tabs for years. He makes one that attaches to the finger similar to the BW tabs. Good folks too.

This is one that we make at EFA. We also make them so that you can change the O-ring size. It's not yet shown on the website.

I've been using the EW Bateman three under and it's a great tab.  The leather is a bit thin.  Not worried about it wearing out though.  If you really like to feel the string this may be your tab.  

However, I just got a couple of Skookum Cordovan tabs from Alaska Bowhunting Supply.  The leather is a bit heavier, the tab has a removable finger separator and the cord lock on the elastic finger strap is a nice convenience.  Lifetime guarantee.

I don't think you could go wrong with either one.

I like the bateman tab too. Of all the ones I have tried it looks closest to the BW. Not sure about the 3 under though...

I've owned and liked all the above tabs... though I'm a glove guy myself. Angel's are another great one but the one tab I have not given away or sold off is my Ultra-tab by backforty gear.
