I used a deerskin glove when I first started out and started losing sensation in my index and second fingers after only about 40 min. of shooting (too thin of material).

Later I learned about the tab and have graduated from the calfskin (slick but I don't get much feel on the string during anchor/aiming time) to a Cavalier Elite tab w/ cordovan (horse hide!) leather. Cordovan is that great combination of slickness but not too slick, feel and extreme durability that I have yet to find in another material so far.

I first shot with the shelf to help anchor but have since ditched it in favor of anchoring closer to the center of my face and more up front. I can get my third knuckle on my jaw better to locate my draw hand without a shelf.

There's no way I'll go back to a glove unless I start showing up at 'Rennaissance Faires' here!.

Just my two cents worth.
