Cowhide 3-Finger Tab for Right-Handed Archers
The Cowhide 3-Finger Tab is a leather archery finger protector designed for shooters who hold and release the bowstring with three fingers.
This model is made from cowhide leather, comes in brown, measures 7.5 × 7 cm, weighs 17.3 g and is currently offered in a right-handed version.
What is a finger tab?
A finger tab is a protective layer positioned between the bowstring and the fingers of the shooting hand.
During the draw, the bowstring places pressure on the fingers. During release, the string slides rapidly across the contact area.
A leather tab can help reduce direct friction, skin irritation and discomfort during repeated shooting.
Three-finger release
This model is designed for a three-finger release.
The fingers commonly involved are:
- index finger,
- middle finger,
- ring finger.
The exact position depends on the archer's release technique.
Finger release versus thumb draw
A finger tab should not be confused with a thumb ring.
A finger tab protects the fingers when using finger release.
A thumb ring or leather thumb protector is designed for thumb draw.
These are two different string-holding systems.
Mediterranean release
The tab is suitable for common three-finger techniques such as Mediterranean-style release.
Depending on the individual shooting style and the shape of the tab, it may also be used with split-finger or three-under techniques.
The supplied information does not limit this model exclusively to either one.
Cowhide leather
The material is cowhide leather.
Natural leather can soften gradually, adapt to repeated use and develop a patina.
Minor variations in surface texture or colour are normal characteristics of natural material.
Double-layer construction
According to the supplied description, the tab uses a double-layer design.
Multiple layers can help distribute bowstring pressure and create a more comfortable barrier between the string and the fingers.
However, a double layer does not guarantee complete protection.
Adjustable buckle
An adjustable buckle is included to help keep the tab in position.
The fit should be secure without restricting movement or causing excessive pressure.
If the tab moves significantly during shooting, the adjustment should be checked.
Size and weight
The stated overall size is:
7.5 × 7 cm / 75 × 70 mm
The weight is:
17.3 g
These dimensions describe the product itself and should not be interpreted as an S, M or L hand size.
Right-handed version
The current product variant is:
Right-handed
This should be considered when selecting the product.
Traditional archery
A three-finger tab can be used with many bow types when the archer uses finger release.
These may include:
- longbows,
- traditional recurves,
- recurve bows,
- other bows suitable for finger release.
The release technique is more important than the bow category alone.
Bow draw weight
No maximum recommended bow draw weight is specified for this model.
For stronger bows, finger pressure increases and a thicker or differently constructed tab may be required.
It would therefore be incorrect to invent a universal poundage limit.
Leather care
Keep the tab dry and avoid excessive heat.
If it becomes wet, allow it to dry naturally.
Regularly inspect the leather, seams, buckle and contact surface for significant wear or damage.
