Here is a picture of Rods new tab. I am building it for him and they are available at his website. Here is the link    http://safarituff.com/id22.html    if you would like to purchase one. Here is a little info on them. Rod will try to check in if there are any questions. They are only available in 3 under.


Hand crafted by Wyoming Wildlife Artistry

Finest USA heavyweight cowhide tab plate designed to take advantage of the string indexing qualities of target tabs , but shaped to eliminate face interference, for the higher anchors typically used by barebow archers.

Top quality Horween Cordovan leather face. ......simply the best!

Tight grained calf backing to maintain shape and enhance durability

Absolute consistent stitch spacing and location...string walkers can be assured stitching will result in repeatable crawls every tab.

5 year Guarantee......no matter how much you shoot!

Another vote for a split finger model.

I recieved mine this week and it is amazing quality will order two more just to have extras.

I have been shooting this tab for two weeks now. I can honestly say this is the best tab that I've ever seen or shot. The quality is second to none and the tab is noticeably smoother than any tab that I've seen or used. This tab promotes a deep hook and repeatable grip on the string. I have found that my consistency has really improved over the last two weeks while using this fine tab. Thanks for another great product!

I have been shooting this tab for a about 6 weeks now.  I really do like this tab.  I have tried a bunch of tabs after shooting with a glove and this one is very comfortable and very clean on the release.

Split finger model coming, maybe? If so I want one.

I got a chance to shoot one of these tabs a few weeks back, it is definately the nicest tab I have ever shot

Is the only difference in size the width?  I got a medium to try.  The width is okay as is the length.  But, I don't get the string indexing against the base plate of the tab like the caviler tab I had.  It is way too deep of a hook if I try that.  I put the string around my finger like a ring or standard finger hole tab.  Would a larger move the plate edge farther out on my fingers?

Todd, I have to wear the medium on the middle bone of my finger rather then the bone nearest my hand.  It was a little strange at first, but now I don't even notice it.  I can wear the large in the usual way, but the medium fits more precisely, so I prefer to use it as described.  It is a tribute to this tab that it is worth experimenting with to get it to work.

Thanks for the input. I did play with the tab down below my second knuckle. That did work to get indexing in the right area, but it was strange having it there.

It is a great tab, but would be better for me with a longer plate. I think I may try a large.

Do you happen to have a pic of the medium and large side by side to see the difference?

Here are the tabs side by side. The large is 2 3/4" wide and the medium is 2 5/8" wide. I think that a possible solution would be to put another set of holes lower on the tab.

Looks wider and deeper in the plate area.  For me, I think the holes need to be about one hold width back from the edge or the plate. I may contact Scott and see if he can punch one out that way on a large for a custom fit.

Always have at least the top edge of the tab plate against the string, then place fingers on string at least as deep as first joint....the hook depth adjustment is accomplished by allowing the finger loop to move from the hand knuckle to the middle finger knuckle.
