Just got back into traditional archery, and boy, do my fingers hurt. Having my wife make a couple of these asap.

I'm been using a glove *and* a tab at the same time. It just gives a little more protection.

In 40 years I've never used a tab or glove till this year

Hello, I am doing a project to design the highest weight war bow I can, I was thinking Joe Gibbs 200 pound bow but made from black ronwood (Krugiodendron ferreum) or Madagascar rosewood (Dalbergia maritima) backed with Gaboon Ebony (Diospyros crassiflora) with recurved ends. Any advice would be much appreciated

Tried using tabs on my 70lb horse bow and after 18 arrows I have numb fingers.
