If forced to choose between tab or glove, it's the glove, but I only wear one when shooting something over 50lbs, or with a skinny, high performance string.... With B-50 strings on my bows that are under 50lb draw weight, i usually don't wear anything. In fact, I actually shoot better with my bare fingers. If you shoot a little every day, your fingers build up to it, like my guitar callouses on the other hand. Then there is one less thing to keep up with... I shoot almost every day, so what works for me might not work for everybody. To each his own....
