Title: Tab to Glove and 3under to split...any recommendations?
Post by: threeunder on December 04, 2015, 02:19:00 PM
After our hunting season is over, I want to make a couple of changes.
Namely, I want to go from a tab to a glove and from 3 under to split.
I started shooting in 2006 and started split with a glove.
There are a few reasons I want to go back, but the biggest is being able to wear a glove while hunting and quieting my bows down just a bit by going to split.

So...any recommendations are making the change? Do's/Don'ts?

You'll have to change your handle.     :saywhat:    

I've always liked American Leathers gloves.  Don't need that much protection if you're shooting bows 50# or less though.  

Of course, may need to change your anchor point (up or down a little) as well. Regardless, you'll have a slightly different sight picture, but won't take long to adjust.  Good luck.

Work on a lower poundage bow to develop a new anchor point.  I shoot high when I go from 3 under to split

I tried that a while back, mainly to try something new. For me it was a big step backwards even though that is how I shot for most of my life. I will stick with 3 under and a tab. Good luck and have fun trying out a new old style.

American leathers big shot or crossover. I made the the switch 2 yrs ago and glad I did.  Watch John Schulz videos on YouTube. Those helped me with the change over.

Stick to three under. I shot split for so long.  Never again.

Shoot low brutha... shoot low.... your point on is going to change drastically if you keep the same anchor point..... If i were you i'd try using a glove and stick with 3 under, or use a thin glove and stick with the tab.....

Going from split to 3 under was a good transition for me. Going back to split finger after shooting 3 under is a lot tougher to do and still maintain any type of gap aiming method.... good luck on that.

I know Kirk.  My consistency improved dramatically.

Maybe I'll just try going to the glove.  I'd be happy with that as far as hunting goes.

3 Rivers Dura Glove is a fine glove. I shot them for years. The only problem with a glove for me is I hunt in hot weather and after a while the glove starts to smell like something dead...RC
