A "finger tab" is a small device used in archery to protect the fingers while drawing and releasing the bowstring. Typically made from leather or synthetic materials, it fits over the fingers to provide a smooth surface, reducing friction and preventing injury. This allows archers to maintain a consistent grip and improve their shooting accuracy. Finger tabs come in various designs and sizes to accommodate different hand shapes and preferences. Some feature adjustable straps for a secure fit, while others may include additional padding for comfort. Using a finger tab can enhance an archer's performance by promoting better technique and reducing strain on the fingers.
