Been shooting with a glove and been thinking about a tab. Who shoots 3 under with a tab and which one do you use? What do you like better about the tab?

Bucky, I shoot a Bateman 3 under Cordovan tab.  I had a calf hair tab for years, but think the Cordovan gives a very smooth release and will last a LOT longer.  I used a glove for a while and started having some nerve issues in my middle finger so switched back to a tab.  I get a little better release with a tab too but many folks do very well with a glove.  Give one a good try.  Ya might like it :-)

Which sponsor sells the Bateman?

Bateman for me     BlackWidow makes a good one. I think you get a much cleaner release with a tab.

Love my bateman 3 under.

I shot and love my Toelke tab! Dan Toelke makes them

3Rivers sells them & E W Bateman & Co.

I have gotten the best release and now always use a Cavalier cordovan with the medal palm.

Black Widow, Eagles Flight, both Cordovan!

I use a Cavalier Left Handed Tab. Works Great! I am Right Handed so the Leather is going the Right direction.

I switched from a glove to a tab last spring.  One of the best changes I've made.
I shoot the Black Widow tab and have zero complaints.

Rocky mountain specialty gear sells Bateman tabs

If I use a medium glove will I use the same size tab? Did You find it easy to go from glove to tab?

I'm another fan of the EW Bateman, I have 2 new ones in my tackle box plus the one I shoot...PR

blackwidow 3 under with calf hair.

Shakes,
I don't get it?  Can you enlighten me on the right handed/left hand tab and "leather going the right way"?

I also use the Cavalier Elite without the spacer or the thumb-rest. I buy medium grip bows but the small Cav fits me better than the medium. This rest was designed by Jay Bars, one of our Olympic archers. I love the way the string sits against the metal palm piece.

I've been using this brand tab for a little over a year. I was using a glove before that but have tried other "soft" tabs. They were ok and certainly more economical but these soft tabs didn't promote a relaxed draw hand and consistent string placement like the Cavalier does.  If they (Cavalier's) are good enough for the Olympics then they are perfect for my hunting!

My only "complaint" is that I have to be careful when handling the bow in the tab hand (moving the bow around on stand or puttint it on a hook) to prevent scratching the bow.

I was actually looking at another similar style rest yesterday designed by the current Olympic coach - Saw it and many others on another retailer's site.

I shoot 3-under.

I have to put in a plug for Eagle's Flight Archery when it comes to 3 under tabs!

I picked one up last year and couldn't have been more impressed with the fit and finish of the product.  The o-ring retainer is miles better than just sticking your finger through a hole, and the leather palm plate makes for an great index for ensuring consistent hand placement from shot to shot.  

Look them up if you have the time, I haven't found a better shooting tab out there!

I like the black widow tabs.

I've been shooting 3-under for about almost 50 years...damn time flys. Anyway, I use split-finger tabs, as I never like the three under tabs. For the last ten years or so, I've used the "Bateman Cordovan Face Tab with Divider" and I remove the divider.
