Glove or Tab?
« on: August 27, 2012, 11:48:24 pm »
Been gone for some time and now I'm back and been roaming the site.  What is your preference, a shooting glove or a shooting tab?

I like a shooting glove, Damascus to be specific. I used to use a tab but after dropping it out of my tree stand a few times I switched to a glove and never looked back.  ;)

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....

I use a tab, I use to use a glove and liked the fact I could cut 3 fingers out of a glove and keep the fingers warm whlie hunting but didn't like the grooves that would always come in it about the time it was really feeling good to me.If I drop my tab or forget it I shoot about the same bare fingers so it's a tab for me.  :)
Plus they are easy and cheap to make,I'm pretty cheap. ;) ;D ;D

Glove, Damascus, also. Unless I'm hunting in the rain. Then I switch to a stiff tab I keep in my pocket.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Glove, Damascus. But I use artificial sinew for strings on some bows and then
I use nothing.
