I switched to three under about two years ago and saw an immediate improvement in my shooting. Up to this point I've been using a glove and its been okay, but when I shot split fingure I really liked using a tab. What do you folks think of the three under tabs on the market? Who's used em? Who likes em? Do they offer the same freedom of split finger tabs? I always liked being able to flip a split finger tab back out of the way when I needed to do something else with my fingers. Can I do this with three under tabs? Thanks.
I shoot 3 under yet still shot with a split finger tab and it causes no problems. My point is that you don't have to use a tab specifically designed for 3 under if you prefer your split finger tab. Good luck.
Ditto what Brian said.

Black Widow Bows, is a sponsor here...look/click on up above.
They market a very nice tab for three under.
You can use a "can't pinch" tab.....just take the insert out.
It's always worked good for me :thumbsup:
Woodduck is correct, Widows 3 under are very nice and I believe will be an improvement over using a split finger tab. Shawn
As Long as the 3 Finger Tab is of Cordovan Leather, Ya CANT go Wrong!! :thumbsup: :archer:
From another 3-Under Shooter!! :goldtooth:
Thanks guys! I'll be checking some tabs out next week at Denton!
I use the BlackWidow 3 under tab, and I really like it :thumbsup:
I make my own 3 under tabs, bought a leather purse from Goodwill for $1.00 and got six tabs out of it.
Bunyan, send me a PM with your address and I'll throw you one in the mail.
I agree with making them you can get fancy or keep it grude and cut it out with a pocket knife.
keep it egg shaped w/a smaller finger size hole on the small end of the egg shape.
good luck
I use the 3 under black widow also, but you can't flip it back and out of the way like you're talking about doing.

I`ve aiways made my own tabs but about 5 years ago I lost a tab on a hunt and the only tab I could find in my bag was my bowfising tab,a Saunders plastic tab. By the end of the hunt I had realised this was the best tab I had ever used. It`s very fast,and completely weather proof.It is stiff and takes a little getting used to but has helped my one finger at a time release that has plagued me for quite a while now. Every one of my hunting buddies are using it now. It`s a one over tab and works well either way. They are cheap so give it a try. I think you will like it.

Absolutely!
I've tried a number of 3-under tabs over the years and never really took a liking to any of them. Personally, I like the PSE/King tabs with the plastic spacer.
I use a 3-under widow tab for summer shoots, but I still use a glove somtimes too
Black Widow 3-under calf-hair tab is what I prefer.
I would be really interested in seeing some pictures of your guys home made tabs? I think I am going to try that?
I shoot 3 under with a split tab. No problems, but I make my own also, out of deer hide. Keep the fur on and cut it from the belly side. Shape it and cut a finger hole. It is that easy. I typically keep these in my day packs as a backup, but in practice, they shoot good.
the "bubba" 3 under model by www.e.w.bateman.com (http://www.e.w.bateman.com) cordovan face and is the best i've ever used.
I totally agree with Smallwood. I keep three just in case I misplace two.
I also use the Saunders plastic tab, 3 under. Tough as nails, slick as goose...dung. Really helped smooth out my release. Still have & use the 1st one I bought, over 10 years ago.
I've tried the BW tab, but not near as slick or smooth for me.
I shoot both left & right handed, & these tabs are reverseable, added bonus.
