Did you take your 3 finger tab and just cut to size?

I got a tab made for split shooting.

Doesn't drawing with just 2 fingers put a painful strain on your hand?

I was looking at some using a thumb style release, benefits and cons, and got me wondering about 2 fingers under.

Due to a smashed ring finger in the past I now shoot 2-under with a black widow 3 under tab, I have tried to cut down this style in the past and it just didn't feel right. As far as strain on the hand I really don't notice.

I shoot with middle & ring finger under with deep hooks and index finger lightly on top of the shaft. The pad of my thumb is snug on the middle digit of my little finger. It does not put much stress on my fingers especially with deep hooks. I shoot the 2 fingers under tab that Dan Toelke designed and sells.

I need all 3 to draw.  However I relax the ring finger at full draw and it's holding less weight than the other two before release.

I have shot 2-under for years, using a Black Widow tab.  The larger BW tabs don't work for me; they're too wide for 2-under.  My solution, I buy a MEDIUM tab (which is narrower than I'd buy for 3-under).  That way, it's easy for me to tuck my ring finger.  Works great!

Been shooting two under for about three years now.I get a cleaner release.My bows are all mid-forties weight.I don't think I could do much heavier than that.I took my Bateman tab and trimmed to fit.

Give dan toelke a call. I think he has a two under tab available.  He shoots two under though the tab I speak is not on his site. It's a kit with different backings.
