          “If you keep shooting will it reverse again back to normal?” Ha, David! Or perhaps shoot the course in reverse direction?

            Now to analyze further……………wood arrows, carbon arrows, aluminum arrows? :-))))

            Have your target points become magnetized?  ;-))

              Well, my wife didn’t misplace my June/July issue after all.

              Ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!No way would I accuse her of that.  I have learned a thing or two in my 74 years.

                I would say perhaps it’s due to a magnetic personality but that might lead one’s direction in life astray as would a compass in reverse tend to lead one down a wrong path. Either path in the wrong direction could be problematic.

                    Hey guys, these are handy to have around also.

                    If’n you get caught out in the wet especially.

                    I keep one handy just in case I get caught………..been a long time since I planned on getting wet other than my daily shower…..but  t-storms sneak up on me occasionally………and sometimes things just happen, like “friends” with water buckets……………..

                        Hey Ray, not winter to test tabs/gloves today but 65-70 mph winds were howling and there wasn’t anything that made a damn bit of difference. 🤔 I had to fling a few. They flung all over the place. 😀

                        Some days best to stay out of the great outdoors and fix things. 😉

                            David, I’m trying to say if the tab is to snug around the middle finger, like if the tab has no forward or backwards give to it on your finger, I’m thinking it needs some, the ‘recoil” when the string leaves has nothing to do but slap your lip, cheek, wherever you anchor.

                            You don’t want it loose, just snug, not tight. To me there has to be a little give.

                            I’ve read that if your tab is stinging you, you’re doing something wrong.  Maybe so but for every action there’s an equal and opposite reaction.

                            That’s why I like my thick, soft tabs that I make.I have had a fever blister on the bottom lip, in my anchor point.

                            I can shoot my glove without to much prob but I have learned for sure a bit about which of my tabs I prefer.

                            Of course, like a lotta stuff, it’s a whole bunch of an individual thing.

                            I’m no expert source, just been messing with this trad biz for a long time.

                            Another little trick, another tab, the little tab thingy…fits over the back of your finger and sure can ease the pressure on the bone.

                            Be well…………

                              David, I forgot, you shoot split or 3 under.

                              Sounds to me like your tab may be just a tad short.

                              Also, if tab is too tight on your middle finger, there’s no “give” to it on the release and it might bite you.

                               

                              A good way to get bit…….some split finger tabs, (most in my experience) will bite your middle finger bad enough you might need rabies shots when shot three under (I experiment 3 under sometimes, especially on days when it seems that I’m experimenting with split also, you know, some of “them” days).

                                Welcome Luke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                Glad you found us and welcome to our clan.

                                My Samick Sage doesn’t seem to be overly heavy. But I’m more of a longbow shooter so not really experienced in other take down recurve bows and their physical weight.

                                Take down longbow? I’ve never had one but I’ve never hefted a heavy longbow.  They’ve always been lightweight.

                                Good luck,  good hunting and hope to hear more from you.

                                P.S.

                                Didn’t y’all just experience a 6.+ earthquake?

                                Best of luck for all on that.

                                Ralph (R2)

                                  Some dreams don’t include frigid conditions….

                                  Some animals I really have no desire to hunt.

                                  Sez me….:-))
