Finger Tab with Hair Leather – Natural Archery Finger Protection
The Finger Tab with Hair Leather is a two-layer finger protector designed for archers using finger release.
It combines:
natural velour
with:
genuine leather with hair.
The tab protects the fingers from direct bowstring contact while the natural hair surface may help create smoother contact during release.
What is a finger tab?
A finger tab is a protective layer positioned between the bowstring and the fingers of the string hand.
During the draw, considerable pressure is transferred through the bowstring to the fingers.
The tab helps reduce direct contact with the skin.
What is finger release?
Finger release means that the bowstring is drawn and released using the fingers.
Commonly involved are:
- index finger,
- middle finger,
- ring finger.
Mediterranean release
Mediterranean release is one of the most common three-finger methods.
A finger tab is a typical protective accessory for this shooting technique.
Split finger
In split-finger shooting, one finger is generally positioned above the arrow and two below.
The tab may be used with this technique if its shape and fit suit the archer.
Three under
Three under places all three fingers below the arrow.
The same principle applies: the exact fit and shooting technique determine whether a particular tab feels suitable.
Why use a two-layer tab?
Two layers create a protective barrier between the fingers and the bowstring.
This model combines natural velour with genuine leather and hair.
No exact total thickness is supplied.
Why use natural hair?
The hair surface can create smoother contact between the tab and bowstring.
It may help reduce friction as the string leaves the fingers.
Does this automatically improve accuracy?
No.
A smoother contact surface may help provide consistent conditions, but shooting accuracy still depends on:
- draw,
- anchor,
- back tension,
- release,
- bow grip,
- arrow setup,
- bowstring condition,
- the archer's technique.
Natural material
The hair leather is a natural material.
Individual pieces may therefore have different:
- colours,
- patterns,
- textures,
- hair lengths.
Right and left versions
Choose the version according to the hand that draws and releases the string.
A right string hand requires the right version.
A left string hand requires the left version.
Sizes S, M and L
Available sizes are:
S / M / L
No exact size chart is supplied.
The correct size should cover the finger contact area while allowing natural movement during the release.
Traditional archery
The tab may be used with longbows, traditional recurves and other bows when using finger release.
Instinctive archery
Instinctive archers can also use a finger tab when their shooting technique uses finger release.
Finger tab versus thumb ring
A finger tab and thumb ring serve different shooting techniques.
Finger tab: finger release.
Thumb ring: thumb draw.
Beginners
A tab can be useful for new archers whose fingers are not yet accustomed to repeated bowstring pressure.
Correct technique remains important.
Experienced archers
The tab can also be used for regular training and repeated shooting by experienced archers.
Maximum bow weight
No specific maximum draw weight is given for this product.
For stronger bows, finger pressure increases and different tab thickness or construction may be required.
Inspect the bowstring
A damaged serving or rough string surface can increase wear on the leather and hair.
Inspect the bowstring regularly.
Natural hair wear
With regular use, the hair may gradually:
- flatten,
- change direction,
- become shorter,
- wear in the contact area.
Normal smoothing can occur with natural material.
Care after getting wet
Allow the tab to dry naturally.
Avoid:
- open flames,
- heat guns,
- excessive direct heat.
Storage
Store the tab:
- dry,
- clean,
- without heavy compression,
- away from extreme heat.
