finger tab question...

[jaarus]

Hi all

Ok now this is gonna sound like a stupid question but hey pride comes before a fall.

Fingertabs.
I need one.
One I have been using is now very worn and offers next to no protection anymore. It was a 2nd hand DIY tab made by a field shooter I met and was a double layer basic tab with a finger spacer added.


As part of the second hand set-up I bought, a used platform tab was in there.
Had a play with it and I now see the benefit personally of a platform tab - its a far more definate feel on the jaw so far easier to find your anchor accurately.

Trouble is... its too small.

If I actually shot with it I would be picking up pieces of my finger tips from just over the line.


So, the dilemma, I want to get one in time for this weekend.

Went online and : they come is sizes
Small, Medium, Large.

How do I know (warned you about the stupid question) what size I am?
I cant go and try them as nearest shop is about a 90 minute drive each way so would cost more in petrol lol, and I really want one for this weekend

Could I simply buy a large and cut it down or would say the finger spacer be too big if I was actually a medium?

Is it obvious?
Small - teen/lady
Medium - gents normal
Large - Mr Giant hand?
*edit* Just seen an 'Extra Large'. Presumably this is for Mr Giant Hand's dad?

No idea -I would say my hands are average - hahaha - what size is average?

Also - anyone able to recommend a decent one? needs platform and spacer
Spigarelli looks pretty good.
But open to suggestions!

I have cavalier tab with a cordovan face. Large size with a bit trimmed away to clear rge nocks and fingers.Finger spacer and ledge. I have 2 the same and alternate them to reduce wear and tear.My hands are not big.

Varying manufacturers have different sizes. I have a cartel large platform tab that is nice enough, off the top of my head it is large and fits nicely with very little modifications.

I used to use a large A&F Platform tab and having tried it the other day it feels far too big and cumbersome, whereas the medium was too small and uncomfortable. The seperator was also in a different place which wasn't as good as the Cartel i'm now using.

Large it is then -and a craft knife!

Many thanks indeed

Even if you got the right size you would probably trim it a bit anyway.
