This meant that those fingers were not in direct contact with the nock but you could nevertheless still feel the arrow.

I'm looking for a similar replacement tab but to no avail. It seems the new mode is for finger spacers, rather than any contact at all.

Many also come with a platform (no idea what it's for) - too small to rest my cup of tea on!

In desperation I'm even considering a glove but I've never used one, so I don't know if this could lead to uneven release problems.

Does anyone know where I may find something (primitive?) like the one I used to use, or can anyone advise me on a modern alternative. I don't much like the idea of a finger spacer, as I want to 'feel' the action but without sores on my finger tips.

Also, on-line they are sold in Small, Medium, Large & XLarge. My Marigolds are Large, so can I assume my tab would need to be?

Not read the whole thread but Sorry but here goes

It sounds like an Angel tab I got about 3 months ago from alternative around 15quid.
