Narrowing down things.

I am starting to narrow down some things. Anchor, release, form. I also have been experimenting between glove and tab. Right now, it seems the glove is better for me. I am using a 3 under tab from BW as well just trying to narrow down which one is best for me. My glove is a large, I feel it may be too big, however, Im not sure how snug they are supposed to be. Should a glove literally "fit like a glove" snug to the finger tips? the one I have is not fit to the tips of my fingers and I find myself pulling at the glove to get it snug. Sorry, I just found and looked at 3 rivers size chart and found that with my hand measurement, I need a small! I am way off!

I think with a glove it's purely whatever feels/shoots best. If your glove isn't skin tight and you shoot lights out with it - then that's what you need to wear.

Now in theory, the better your glove fits the smoother your release should be. But if you're not having any consistency/accuracy issues with one that doesn't fit perfect then I wouldn't worry about it.

Also, certain bows may shoot better with a different release. My Kodiak Magnum only shoots well when I use a glove, but my main recurve shoots best with a tab. Just takes some playing around until you get it right.

I used to shoot my old compound with bare fingers and athletic tape on the string to make it easier on my fingers.  When I went to trad general info indicated that much extra weight on the string would slow it down.  I tried a glove and a tab.  I found that I got better releases with the tab.  I can also make a bunch by buying a nice piece of thin vegetable tanned  belt leather.  Each person is different though.
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

I will buy a small glove and shoot with it, if it doesn't work, then im going back to shooting the large glove, it's been working ok so far, but I want to see if I can do better.

Might consider ordering a small AND a medium - keep the one that fits best. I don't find the charts to always be accurate for my best fit. Most you'll be out is return shipping.

Was sure worthwhile for me when I ordered my last glove. Also keep in mind that gloves will stretch a little as they're broken in.

I always had to buy a size smaller glove because they streached in the heat of summer and my sweaty hand.
