Finger Tabs & Gloves

Finger tabs and gloves are both effective archery protective gear for the string hand, with the choice depending on personal preference, shooting style, and desired release type. Tabs generally offer a smoother release and are favored by target archers, while gloves provide comfort, convenience, and a better feel for the string, making them popular for hunting and field archery.

Overview Comparison: Tabs vs. Gloves

Feature	Finger Tabs	Shooting Gloves
Release Quality	Tends to provide a smoother, cleaner release due to multiple layers of slick material (like Cordovan leather).	May have a less smooth release due to single-layer reinforcement, but some archers prefer the feel.

Material/Customization	Available in various materials (Cordovan, suede, etc.) and often feature modular designs with adjustable spacers and plates.	Usually made of deerskin or other supple leather; less adaptable for adding or remo
