I've used both, but now prefer my tab. E.W. Bateman cordovan leather tab. They are great. God bless.

I use Cavalier Elite and also Safari Tuff. The Elite is a split finger but I shoot 3 under.

I used a glove for a while but I prefer the tab for comfort and consistency.

I am currently using a Black Widow tab. I haven't found anything I like better......yet.

I use either a Damascus or Deerskin glove.

Have both, but for hunting I much prefer the glove over the tab.  Nice to have full control over my fingers when I need them.

Favorite glove is still the old Wolverine/Grizzly glove that Tim @ Braveheart used to sell.  I've tried finding a replacement, but none I've found have that same level of feel.  Hands down my favorite glove ever, and the one I hunt with is starting to show it's age.  When it's gone, I'll have to either figure out how to repair it, or start all over.

I'm handy with ducktape.   :D

Started out shooting with gloves,but now only use tabs. Favorites are the Cavalier Elite, and the Black Widow tabs. Just feel like I get a crisper release with a tab.

VictoryHunter

I always use a glove. It's more natural to me. I feel like a tab gets in the way too much.

Shot a tab for years, yet persistently pursued to acquire a glove that didn't obviously degrade neither accuracy nor consistency.

Several years and seven gloves later with much disappointment, I gave the Big Shot a go. The tabs have been resting for the past several years.

Note: Still have a subtle itch to give Mr. Rod Jenkins' tab an opportunity.

This year I switched to a Saunders Pak Tab. It has a smoother release than my glove.

Eric,

I personally have had more experience with the BW 3-under calf-hair tabs, but just bought a shooting glove (Big Shot, Buffalo version) and am trying it out.  Quality piece of leather!

bigshot glove,just started with tabs the other day again,i think we are all to obsessive to have an accurate answer to the question!lol

I shoot a cordovan tab.  Started with gloves and liked them plenty.  But it seemed like they actually got a grove worn in them that affected release a tiny bit.  Switched to a tab at the prompting of Dan Toelke when he was giving me a bit of coaching.  Now I really like the tab with the tiny finger spacer as I shoot split.

Started with a glove in my teens,but have been using a tab for the last thirty some years.I use a cordovan leather,3 under,but would like to try a good glove one of these days.

markliep

Use both - tabs work well for me with the taller target bows & Damascus glove for the shorter hunting bow I have - adding a little talc to the tabs helps with release as does pulling thru with my back of course - M

Tab for me. Love the Fred Eichler tab from 3R's.
