another tab question, please.

Hi

I have just taken delivery of a Joomong!! Yes it really is metal!!

It is smaller than my large a & f. Which some on here stated was probably too big.

Before i remove my finger tips, what is the maximum amount of finger you can have sticking out past the tab and be safe? I'll guess and say it aint going to be quite that simple.

Thanks

Kevin

cant wait to see the replies on this one..

bend your fingers with the tab in place as if your holding the string. the edge of the tab should be level with the edge of your fingers at that point

yes should be some interesting ones here.

I agree place it as if about to draw tab should be level with the ends of your fingers, the Joomong is the first tab I have ever bought that I have not had to take a knife to to make it the correct length for me (Yet). So that probably does make it a bit short for some people, try shooting it in before worrying too much as it will streach a little particularly if its only a little too short.

Well heres my Soma saker I trimmed loads of it and no I never get sore fingers
As you can see it just covers the first crease on my fingers when they are straight out (Ive left the pic large so its easy to see)

Hi, thanks

here's mine.......................



I was thinking of getting the OBeron face material. The base(metal) part of the tab seems the right size and is comfortable in the hand. I can always tape my fingers up if they bleed!!

Have you shot it yet ? the two things I found with mine apart from trimming the face back was that I had to widen the "slot" in the face for the arrow to sit in it was too narrow and interfered with the arrow I also had to move the pinky hook back as far as it would go to avoid pulling with my little finger it just rests on it now.
A little bit of playing around with the adjustments really pays divedends

Hi yeah just shot it. Brilliant. Very comfortable. Much nicer than the A & F.

I bought it from Merlin. When I phoned them, the girl I spoke to really couldn't help with regard to offering pointers wrt size, except large is for men!!

A sound investment so far!!
