I am switching to tab after mainly shooting a glove for 15 or so years. I have several tabs laying around the house, but just never stick with them. I think it's because I'm not fitting them correctly. I attached a picture hopefully it loads. I have always bought large tabs, but maybe I need a medium? Across my 3 string fingers it is around 2.5 inches. I shoot split finger. Any help or suggestions would be great

But like mine and I use a large thinking about trying a x later with a glove on.

They normally have to be trimmed lengthwise also. Not quite to your fingertips when your fingers are curled as in holding the string. I think that is where a lot of people have problems....TOO LONG!

From the photo it looks like it's closer to 2.25 than 2.5. That is exactly what mine is and I use a medium Safari Tuff tab and a small Yost. The Yost is maybe a hair too small in the width but it is what I shoot most of the time now. The Yost needed trimming in the length and the Safari didn't. I shoot three under. The medium Bateman that I used when I shot split worked great. The Safari tab comes in split and is worth taking a look at before you buy anything.

Large

If the tab is too large you can always cut it down. There is no way to increase the size if it is too small.

Buy the large and trim it to fit.

Thanks folks! I will stick with large and maybe trim it down a bit.

I always buy several sizes when in doubt about a new tab I have not used before. Compared to the rest of my equipment, they are cheap. Can also trim a tab with scissors if needed.

I've only had a few that I didn't take the scissors to. It's not a big deal at all. I would rather have one a little large and trim it to fit. Been using a tab since 1967.
