A finger tab is not merely a piece of equipment for finger protection, but a tool that establishes the foundation for release quality and shooting accuracy.
When properly set to match the archer’s hand size and finger length, it enables correct hooking, allowing the bowstring to leave the leather smoothly at the moment of release without snagging or twisting, resulting in a stable and clean release.
In addition, the tab does not shift or move, helping maintain consistent anchoring and hand alignment, which improves shot repeatability.
Ultimately, the key to finger tab setup is choosing the correct size that fits the hand precisely and allows the most natural release to be repeated. This is the starting point of accurate shooting.
