Tab or glove?

[FamousAmos]

Is it a matter of personal preference or is there a reason to go with one over the other?

[Phillip Fields]

Personal preference. I prefer a glove.

I really tried to use a tab because everbody says it is a cleaner release. Tried several brands and several sizes but for whatever reason I could never get it to feel right. I shoot best with a DuraGlove so I am sticking with that.

I am doing better with the Neet glove that fits over the fingertips. The leather is stiffer, more like a tab.

Second question: With a glove do you split arrow with index and middle finger or do you place all three fingers below the nock like you would with a tab?

[Phillip Fields]

Whichever you prefer. I shoot split finger whether I'm using a glove or tab.

I have a duraglove I use split finger and carry as my back up a fred eichler split finger tab. I don't notice much difference, just prefer the glove. And I have to change my whole shooting technique to shoot 3 under as accurately.

[SwampRabbit]

You can shoot 3 under or split with a tab or a glove.

I shoot with a tab. In fact I use a tab that has the "split" in it, but still use it to shoot 3 under. (I still need to buy Rick Barbee 3 under tab.)

Not all tabs are 3-under. I shoot split fingered and shoot a tab. Tab or glove is personal preference, as is split finger or 3-under, as is the choice of how we do most anything in trad archery.

The key is to find something you can be comfortable with and repeat on every shot!

I also shoot split finger with a tab

[SwampRabbit]

Not all tabs are 3-under.

Isn't that the truth. In fact, it was harder to find a 3 under only tab than it was to find a split finger tab. I'd say there are more split finger tabs out there than 3 under.
