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. ;)
-
Tab, I tear up my 4th finger with a glove.

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.
-
Great input. Thanks!
-
Glove.....I use a Big Shot by American Leathers.
-
Glove, Damascus. But I use artificial sinew for strings on some bows and then
I use nothing.
-
It is cold in iowa so I have a full glove to shoot with when cold otherwise I use a three finger glove.
-
I dont use anything on the string hand, bare fingers, but I also dont shoot over 55# and my strings have no serving either.....
