For Hunting...Tab vs Glove?

[Roger Norris]

Do you hunt with a tab or glove? Tell me your reasoning....thanks.

I use a tab while hunting because that's what I always shoot with . I never really liked gloves, but I'm sure they would be a little easier to use when you have gloves on when it's cold out.

[Gooserbat]

I voted glove because thats what I'm using right now, but I think it's what ever you get used to and like.

[Cyclic-Rivers]

I never felt like  a glove felt right. I have always shot tabs and never gave gloves a good chance though.

[Alexander Traditional]

I've been back and forth and always come back to gloves.

[maineac]

I went with tabs, because I thought it would be tough to fit the fingers of a isulating glove into the archery glove and have it feel right.  The tab could just lay over it.

[Grayseas]

I attach Velcro to the fingers of a tight fitting glove.

I shot a glove for years then tried a tab and never looked back.I seem to get a better release with a tab and when I need to use my string hand for something like untying a knot I just slip the tab to the back of my hand.

I used a tab for the first few weeks of the season but I do not like the feel of a glove under my tab.  I will switch back to the glove now that it is getting colder.  I have the fingerless gloves with the mitten end that folds away and it is a little difficult to get my fingers ina and out with the tab.

Tab.

Too much trouble trying to get a glove out of the way doing the 62 other things you do when hunting besides shooting.

A glove worked fine for me, but a tab is more convenient.

Although I voted glove, it is not the kind you are thinking of. As you know Roger it can get mighty cold here in Michigan. So I usually have on a wool glove with a leather palm when hunting with the bow in hand unless it is to warm and go with the glove you are actually mentioning.

[adkmountainken]

can not get use to a tab at all, have used glove from the very beginning.

Tab is where it is at for me-I can flick it aside in a second to do other stuff with a glove you are stuck with it. I used a glove in the earlier days.

Same here..cept I've never used a glove other than just long enough to know I didn't like it when I first started out.

Also, I like a tab because on cold days it's easier to get my fingers warmed..either just in the pockets or with a chem hand warmer.

Tabs are cheaper to...or CAN be. If one gets sorta ruined/dried out from the rain I just get the other $8 tab..no biggie.

I do just the opposite of koops4. Glove in warmer weather and switch to a tab as the season progresses.

Switched to tabs last summer, been shooting better than ever! Make my own now, I can use my tab with a tight thin glove enough to keep the chill off my hand! I practice shooting that way all the time, plus I have an Asbell wool vest I keep a handwarmer in my left pocket I love those Asbell vest pockets very roomy! I used a glove in the past fingers always got real cold maybe I am just getting old! LOL

Glove here, just can't get used to a tab, it always feels like I'm holding onto something, the glove just feels like part of my hand,

[longrifle346]

Started with a glove, switched to tabs for awhile, and then went back to the glove. It just feels more natural when I grip the string and I like the protection.

[BigBucksnTrucks]

I voted glove bc that's what I shoot best with.  I tried the black widow tab but could not shoot acurately.  It could be bc the tab is so thick I have no "feel" of the string. I may do better with another tab, but I think I'll stick with the glove for now.  Maybe I'll try again after seasons over.

Tab! I have the Bateman tab with elastic ! It slips over finger on glove. All good ! The index finger pocket on the glove always twists so quite use a glove. Maxx
