Years back I owned a leather tab which had a loop for the middle finger and an inner layer of thinner, softer leather for added comfort.
One feature of this inner layer was that (where the slit for the nock was) it extended inwards, a bit on either side, into two small rounded flaps of leather which curved around the bottom of the index finger and the top of the middle finger.
This meant that those fingers were not in direct contact with the nock but you could nevertheless still feel the arrow.
I'm looking for a similar replacement tab but to no avail. It seems the new mode is for finger spacers, rather than any contact at all.
Many also come with a platform (no idea what it's for) - too small to rest my cup of tea on!
In desperation I'm even considering a glove but I've never used one, so I don't know if this could lead to uneven release problems.
Does anyone know where I may find something (primitive?) like the one I used to use, or can anyone advise me on a modern alternative. I don't much like the idea of a finger spacer, as I want to 'feel' the action but without sores on my finger tips.
Also, on-line they are sold in Small, Medium, Large & XLarge. My Marigolds :lookaroun are Large, so can I assume my tab would need to be?
