which tab do you use?

[highlow]

adk. I might be misinformed, but a three under tab typically does not have the slits. That's for split but some do use that type for shooting three under. Personal preference there. I have been using a Spigarelli and recently picked up a Bateman. Both excellent. My recommendation is use the ones with cordovan.

Yes on medium, one can always trim to fit. Do a search for proper tab fit, usually must trim a little shorter.

I have two Jenkins and a pair of Cavalier Elite's.  I shoot 3-under but my Cavalier's are split finger. That's no problem at all.

The Cordovan seems to be more difficult to obtain these days. I tried to get some replacement leathers form y Elite's and couldn't do it a year ago. (Lancaster).

My favorite tab is the Cavalier. It is a bit more supple than the Jenkins. The Jenkins are very well put together though.

I know the Cavalier is salty, about twice the price of the Jenkins. But, I've been shooting the same Cavalier, with no change of leather, for four years. I shoot a lot. I don't use the chin rests or spacers because I shoot 3-finger under with index finger tip anchored at the corner of my mouth.

I typically trim all my tabs a bit to fit my finger length better.

Moving to a tab solved a sore finger problem I was having.

Saunders tab, it is a plastic type material. Been using that type for many years.

Just got one from Dan Toelke. This is the most versatile tab I have ever seen. I have shot it next to my other tabs and it is quieter. As usual Dan makes an excellent design with superb quality. About to order another one.

"Rod Jenkins Safari Tuff and Black Widow. Shot the Black Widow tab for a few years but like the Safari Tuff better."

I made the switch this winter and I love my Bateman cordovan tab. I tried other high end tabs but the Bateman protects my fingers more, it's a little thicker. I had finger pain with the rod Jenkins tab.

I use a modified Saunders Pak-Tab (something John Morris of Rocky Mountain Recurves got me started on).

[Biathlonman]

I shoot an eichler, but now that I look at the bateman website, I'm guessing they are probably who makes it.

The BW 3U does have slits, there just is no slot/finger spacer between them as for split.  That's the tab I mentioned in my first post that I could interchange with a glove. I don't know of any others that have this feature nor what its advantage is.  For me, the string came off my fingers similar to my glove.

X4 on the Saunders tab. I've been using one since the early 1990's. First with compound bows and now with traditional bows.

Bateman,Converted,two under.

[jt85]

I use a Death adder tab by Rick ****** but unfortunately he no longer makes them.

[Paul Cousineau]

Bateman for me. I'm going to give the black widow 3 under a try this summer.

Another vote for the Saunders Pak-Tab.  Been shooting them for years, and am very satisfied with them.

Super Archery Mitt Shooting Tab.
Love it!

I am trying to use a tab.(again).  So far, I like the Black Widow better than the Bateman. Either one is workable.  I had an Alaskan Bowhunter Tab (well, three to be exact). I lost all three somehow.

Something else I have not seen mentioned.  I think I have every glove I have used in the last ten to fifteen years.  But have lost three tabs.  IF I start using a tab for hunting, I don't think I would ever go without a back-up tab along. Ok to be fair, I almost always have a backup glove along as well.  Just me.

Bateman cordovan.

[Babbling Bob]

Like cordovan so use a Fivics cordovan tab with leather palm plate. They stopped making them last year.

Use a Bateman powder pouch with it with baby powder to keep it slick.

Have a Black Widow calf hair tab for a backup but not as good.
