Yep... I noticed the same thing.. I actually like the thinner one better... Bought two more! This is my 1st "trad" year and one of the many things I have learned so far is " you can never have enough tabs"....   :dunno:    :dunno:

even if my bow is 36 pound my fingers hurt after long session

will call bateman to see if he can make me some that are thicker....

You can easily sew a calf hair tab on to the back for the extra protection of the fingers.

You can order directly from bateman on phone and specify thickness.

I have always loved cordovan shooting tabs, and the last I got were out of Alaska from a private archer.

My go to tab is one I got from Rick ******. No breaking in and not cordovan, one of the best I have owned.
