Do any of you TradGangers use the Cavalier Elite tab for hunting? All my target friends use them and I wondered if they work well in hunting situations. I like my NEET calfhair tabs, but I modify them by gluing in an extra layer of leather, and the hair wears out quickly.Your thoughts?
I use one for hunting and target... It's the only tab Ive used in years
ME TOO!!!
Got my first one this year from Git-R-Done. http://git-r-donearchery.com/ It is the cordovan and has outlasted every glove I have tried.Last year I wore out 5 gloves.
I like it so much I just got a spare in case I loose the first one. After several months of shooting lots of arrows it is not showing any wear at all and I have yet to get sore fingers.
I am using a Cavalier Elite tab, too. Works very well for me.
I am also carrying a Saunders "Fab Tab" in my spares bag in case I lose my primary tab.
Just got one a couple of weeks ago. Did everyone trim there's and use all the finger spacers etc.?
I trimmed mine and I know Pete trimmed his as well. I don't use the space as I shoot 3 under now, but I did for a while when I shot split.
One only has to observe Brian ( Carbon Caster ) and Pete Ward shoot with the tab to understand how better one can be :)
These two fine gentlemen are top notch when it comes to launching an arrow....
When I seen that, I also switched to the same tab these guys had....

The Cavalier is also a great hunting tab.....A hint to my Canadian friends though....a thin piece of felt, leather, or moleskin, makes the aluminum plate more comfortable against the face at 0 degrees or COLDER...BRRRRBBBB LOL

I like mine HEAVILY modified....LOL, but love the darn things!!
So,
These things sound the real deal????
Where is a good place to get one...
I appreciate the feedback everyone. Which are better, cordovan or calf hair?
No contest. The cordovan wears like iron and is slick as frog snot.
just can't seem to get the feel for one. I try it every now and then and it is so radical from my glove that I just can't shoot it. I did have to mole-skin the face as i tore up my thumb when I shoot. Maybe I am doing something wrong.....
A year ago a tab felt as weird to me as putting on a pair of pants on backwards. It took me almost 2 months to get to where it felt normal. Now I can't imagine shooting a glove again.
I had always shot with a glove, and every tab I tried felt weird. I tried several and would shoot with them a bit, and go right back to my glove. The first time I tried the Cav, I liked it immediately. By the end of the session, it felt perfectly natural, so I knew this was the one. The plate makes all the difference for me, so I could probably get used to any with a rigid plate. Anyway, now the glove feels weird....
