I've been using a calf hair tab for a while now, and shoot pretty good with it.  Lately, I've been having some shooting "issues", and nobody seems to be able to figure out what I'm doing wrong - my middle finger goes numb at the tip after shooting a few dozen arrows.  I'm shooting a 48lb bow (at my 27" draw), 3 under, with a calf-hair tab.

I was told that a glove might help - so I bought a cheap one - Neet - for about $10.  I should have known better - I hate it.  I can't shoot with it either, and I've been trying for a while.  I was told to try a better grade glove than the little hard leather model (finger tabs only with a little bit of elastic on the back of my hand, and a elastic / velcro strap.

Anyone have a recommendation for me?  I think I would need a large size.

All the best,

I think Alaskan makes a good glove.  I like the one with Cordoban leather on the tips..

I had a similar problem.Fingers were either going numb or getting calased from alot of shooting.On advice from this forum I bought a Big Sot Elk Skin glove from American Leathers.Its thick enough for good finger protection and allows you to release as smooth as a tab.tradrick

I'll second the big shot  i shoot fairly heavy bows and it seems to do the trick for me.

If you like tabs better you can get a cordovan leather tab.It is thick very smooth leather.

I like a superglove with cordovan tips.good protection yet you can still feel the string a bit.

i shoot tabs alot and you may need a thicker tab for more protection of the nerves and tendons etc.You may want to try a deeper hook on the string as well if your not using a deep hook allready.

Super glove. Good release and it protects my sissy fingers  

American Leathers Big Shot!!!

All the best,

Thanks Steelhead, but I'm trying to avoid ordering from 3Rivers if possible.  I'll try the other one, as well as the manufacturer.
All the best,
