What are the advantages and disadvantages of using a glove? Which is better A glove or Tab, and which do you prefer?

And it seems to give somemore protection, but that might be just the quality difference. Tabs are way easier to make tho. Nick

Tabs are easier to make, and seem to give a cleaner release. As well as being cheaper and more easily replaced without any trouble.

The tab can be worn over a winter glove in the cold months, and in the summer months it doesn't make my fingers sweat. A tab can also be trimmed to fit exactly. A glove is hit or miss in regards to fit. A glove allows faster follow-up shots..that's about it. My website, Analog Periphery

A tab can be just as fast as glove , it is that you need to practice alot to be able to use it with out looking at it when nocking the next arrow. Howard

A bespoke fur faced or pony buck leather tab for speed. Sealskin over suede leather is probably fastest. I don't take the tab off but flip it round to the back of my hand when it is not being used, my middle finger fits into a leather loop. In the field a deerskin glove for convenience. Both leather tab and glove are regularly treated with Nivea and Talcum powder to build up a slick finish. But bare fingers a lot of the time to keep my callouses in good shape. Rod.

For hunting I like a glove its always ready, but a glove generally takes longer to make or a good one is more pricey and they tend to crease on me after a few months while tabs are always at hand I've got dozens laying around and if I lose one I can just make another. I guess you just can't go wrong with bare finger if you can handle it, one less thing to lose and always consistant. Try it all, im still searching for somthing that suites me. Finger tips like that made by old time target archers or saxton pope are always good and simple. Heres the best pattern for them, i've also attatched them to leather thongs on a wrist strap for a light weight glove. Last Edited By: bobberto 03/16/09 10:18 AM. Edited 1 times.
