Ok, my tab has seen it's better days. It has no hair left on it. It's a cheapy and it's thin. I'd like to get a thicker one and I want one with the finger splitter thing also. Any body have suggestions on a particular make and or model?
Take a look at the Bateman. I shoot the 3 under, but found that it shoots better once I remove the second layer.
I have the Bateman with finger splitter and one without for 3-under. I love that cordovan. It just doesn't wear out and is slicker than a snake oil salesman. I trimmed mine WAY back so it is just long enough to cover the joint of my fingers and I've never had cleaner releases.
how about making one aim sure ya could easy. :thumbsup: nothing like using something that ya made
I have found nothing works better than the Saunders Pak-Tab. This tab is broke in out of the box, impervious to moisture, does not hold scent like a leather tab, and lasts for thousands and thousands of shots!
Try one. You will likely not be disappointed!

I used to like the Wilson cordovan tab a lot when Black Widow made them years ago. Can't find mine old one. Put it in one of those safe places when things get lost I guess. Now I use a Fivics cordovan tab as its replacement. They make many, but the one I like has a leather palm plate shaped similar to the Wilson tab. Trimmed the fingers a bit and also use an old Bear powder patch with baby powder in it and wow, is it slick. The one with the leather palm plate is about $27. Their others have an aluminum plate but I do not like them.
I know it's not the most popular tab for trad archers, but I'm actually really enjoying the Cavelier Elite tab
Safari tuff and Bateman

Bateman!
Bateman,great tab!
I'm also a fan of the Bateman cordovan with the finger spacer.
I always favored a 3 under tab made from a single layer of cordovan. When this style became unavailable I started looking for material to make my own. Could not find cordovan but I did find a leather called Horween Chromexzal in 5 - 6 Oz. thickness. I just traced an old tab and cut it out ,,,, best and most comfortable tab I ever owned. And for $13 I got a 10 X 6" piece ( enough for 6 tabs ).
Batman With spacer I trim the unwanted extra leather ti mt needs, you have the the feel of bare fingers.
Bateman for sure
Try a bunch of different tabs, find what you like, then copy it. Or combine the features you like into a custom job. Easiest leather project you'll ever do. Saves $ and gets you the best fit for YOU. All it takes is some different weights of leather, a razor knife, a punch, thread and needles.
