Finger tape?

Ooh, me callouses!

Can anyone recommend a finger tape suitable for archers? I'm thinking, something that provides a bit of cushioning from the string pressure, will stay in place during the loose, and won't cause the tab to slip off the fingers.

Ta!

RE: Finger tape?

I sometimes use micropore tape if my fingers are a bit sore.

RE: Finger tape?



The best tape I found which still allowed almost all the feeling in the fingers, while offering great protection is called Vet Wrap, OK so it sounds like its a vets supply and it is # In fact I think it was first designed for horses as it sticks to itself very well but doesn't stop them from running.</p>

Now if you visit your local vets and ask them to help you will find this tape absolutely great, it offers full protection while allowing full movement and feelings.# Its available in several colours and widths, I used to use 2&quot;, a small roll cost about £5 but would last me over a month, and that was shooting each and every day, so if you shoot less then it'll last you ages.</p>

Micro-pore tape is OK, however it doesn't offer that much protection, nor does it allow full movement if placed across a joint, oh and just wait till it gets very hot or wet, its a sticky mess.</p>
