I had several of my beavertails tanned and a guy who makes traditional archery gear made some beavertail tabs. I think they turned out awesome looking. What do you think?

Those are nice. Nessmuck looks like your shooting split finger. These are designed to shoot three fingers under the nock. Gotcha…..Nevah tried that

Three fingers under is the new recommendation from the ATA. It is actually easier for new shooters as they don’t pinch the arrow.
You hold the arrow in place by not tilting your shooting arm and holding the bow correctly

Nessy,
Did you make that tab or buy it? I like the double finger idea. Has to help keep the tab from moving vs one finger hole. Bought it back in 98’…

I'm a three fingers under guy too and those look really cool. Ones I'm using made cow hide and used hair side to string. Those look like maybe bit stiffer than mine. Do have lots flex?

Mac They are a bit stiff until they get broken in, but not too bad.
