I've shot a tab for years and own several gloves I've used off and on. Which do you prefer? Lets see pics of your favorite. I'll post mine later today.

I've used both as well, but still prefer a glove over a tab. Right now I'm using an American Leathers Big Shot glove and like it very much   :thumbsup:

Big shot for me as well. Never used a tab.

started with a tab switched to glove 2 yrs ago like the feel and seems to me to give me a more trad feeling but i believe i was more accurate with a tab cleaner release.but my glove i think is not broken in yet will give it another season

I have used both and could continue to use either. As much as I want to like the tab, I always seem more comfortable using a glove. My release seems quicker , smoother with a tab but  I seem to shoot more accurately with a glove.  Over the years I guess I built some confidence up with using a glove and that is hard to give up. I am currently using a American Leather  Crossover.

I have both a tab and glove. I use the tab most of the time.  The only time I use the glove is when it is really cold and I need to where gloves just to shoot.  The tab seems to give me a better release and therefore more accuracy.  Just my opinion.

Started with glove now shoot a tab. For me it feels better.

I have used the Saunders tab for years.  Can't think what it is called, its made from a plastic type of material.  Work well wet or dry and last forever.

Cordovan three under tab. Much more accurate for me.

Have both but I use the tab 90% of the time.  When I switched to the tab my release became much smoother which improved my accuracy. Oh yes, I also use a Saunders Tab.

Tab for a lot of reasons like cost, easy to get out of the way, accuracy, release and so on, but I like a glove for the anchor I get with the extra finger material.  With a glove I really get a way more positive solid contact anchor shooting with my high anchor into my face.

Have used both but now only use a tab. I like the ones with a calf hair surface. They are handy to use and can simply be twisted around your hand out of the way if you need to use your hand for some task, without the likelihood of dropping it out of the tree stand.  More importantly, I can wear a lightweight fleece glove and still use it, which is usually plenty good in our mild Georgia winters.

I've used both quite a bit over the years but have pretty much settled on a tab.  I shoot better with it and find it more convenient whether hunting or just shooting.  Mostly I'm shooting a Bateman Cordovan split finger and sometimes a Saunders Pac or Nam tab.  The plastic shoots great and is especially handy when it's wet.
