Do you really touch your pinky with your thumb? I have to force my hand to do that, and it doesn't seem relaxed to me.

I like it, and I like the quick on the string part. Use something similar but with finger holes cut in the leather layers. Found I didn't need to stitch anything, just let things slide and find themselves.

I like the looks of it. Here's something to think about. I shot the Widow tab for 30 years, maybe longer. After 20 years I took one and pulled out the rubber spaces inbetween the two pieces of leather. Gave me a much better feel for the string.

I've gone to Rick Barbees tap. The thickness is perfect for me and what ever that material, is I like it better than leather.

If you're ever thinking about going back to your glove, shoot your tap and a glove through a chrony. You won't switch. I beat the glove every shot.

It's all about feel and comfort. I've cut those slots bigger on a few tabs over the years for that reason. Sometimes the simplest things can be remarkable.

One more note, to make a neat hole...extension in the tab slit, a handheld hole puncher works treat and doesn't have the chance of tearing or cutting deeper than you want. I just did a tab two weeks ago with it and it looked like the tab came that way.

I like it. Been using a tab for 30 plus years.

I like it. But, it reminds me of my Wilson tabs, which have worked well for me. I do cut the nock slot a little bigger.
