Hi Scott,
Looks like it'll be Thursday night now, as the boss has a tennis match on Tuesday
She just informed me tonight :-(

Both the Angel and Wilson (Black Widow) tabs are excellent, I own both and currently slightly prefer the black widow. This is largely because it has an extra layer of material that makes it feel nicer for my draw weight. If i could figure out an easy way of adding a layer of oberon to the Angel without having to restitch everything, I'd likely be using that.

Theres a store in Japan that sells different versions of the Angel tab. Archery Equipments archery-direct. Pretty much every combination with/without finger spacers, chin platforms etc. Though the platform and spacer are easy enough to remove if you buy the full model that seems to be stocked in the UK.

Very nice, thanks for the link.

Just changed my opinion somewhat on the Wilson tab after shooting it in rain all day today. I found that when the tab gets soaked, the bit covering the middle finger rides up towards the arrow totally changing the way your fingers feel in contact with the string. This may be to do with my finger placement and pressure etc, but it was somewhat distracting. My wife, who was also shooting a Wilson, found the same thing.

I think its because the lower bit of the tab is cut between the middle and ring fingers - my middle finger seems to want to press into the cut between them. If they made this tab with a solid lower section (ie without the cut) it would be, I think, the perfect tab for me.

Hi mf78,
I found this slightly odd too and wasn't 100% sold on the justification given for it, which I read on a site somewhere. Perhaps the Angel is a better bet.
