Fingers or Tab?

[quadrafire]

You Trad guys/gals. Which do you prefer? and have you done both?

[rasbo]

I liked fingers,for me..I think the tabs have a smoother release

I've shot fingers mostly.. probably 90% of my shooting over the last 12 years... shot tab for a good solid year... I could shoot it... but it just wasn't right for me...

Pick one and stick with it.... you'll do fine with either.... Or better yet...get both and shoot them both a fair bit over a couple months time...you'll know which you like best....

Good Luck and keep us posted on how it goes.

Thanks horn. That is a great idea. I don't even have a Trad bow yet, just getting ideas what I might do.

I like fingers mostly, I gave tabs a good try, but just not happy with them!

I use the three finger glove,
Fits nice and confortable.

glove.... even though all the best target archers I have seen seem to use a tab... just don't get the feel I like and get with a glove.  Plus hunting I like the ease of it.

i use both depending on what i am doing. i prefer a good tab i also feel it is a smother release. but i also shoot a release with my recurves because of my bone disorder it really hurts for me to shoot finger tab or glove. but between the 2 look for a good tab is my 2 cents.

It is just a personal choice. I shot a tab for many years. A dozen years ago I switched to a shooting glove. Yes, releases from a tab are smoother. The fact that a tab can be pivoted 180 degrees and worn on the back side of the hand until the time comes to use it makes it easier to pick slivers or noses or whatever. I like the look, the smell and feel of a leather shooting glove; and so I've learned to pick my nose with my left hand.
