Hi Mike, No its tan leather and it's like three or four pieces riveted together so that three individual layers of leather cover the fingertips. Sorry, I'm not explaining it very well and there's no makers name or logo on it to help !! Les

I use a Richard Head glove with my Mongolian bow and the same when I briefly had an AFB, works well for me but I guess like so many things archery its a case of go with what is comfortable for you!

I would use a tab for any style (Except Compound U/L or Horse-bow) as I think that they are much more accurate than a glove. I don't know any archers putting in top scores wearing a glove Daniel

I shot with glove for 12 years and made the switch to a Tab and for the last 10 years I've stayed with the Tab. A glove can be handy in colder climates but for accuracy and the cleanest release a TAB is the best choice.
