Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

Barebow and traditional archers who walk the string know that a good tab is the difference between guessing and grouping. The Bateman Bubba is built around a shell cordovan face, which is the leather most string walkers reach for because it gives the cleanest, slickest release you can ask for. This is the right-handed X-Large version with a three-fingers-under design and a rubber back, made for archers who hook all three fingers below the nock.
On top of that cordovan face sits a laser engraved aluminum overlay that keeps the tab rigid. That stiffness matters more than folks realize. When the plate holds its shape, your finger placement stays honest and your release doesn't get mushy. There's roughly an eighth-inch of cushion built in too, so you get support without the string biting into your fingertips over a long session on the range or in the field.
String walking lives and dies on repeatability. You slide your fingers down the string a set distance below the nock depending on the target range, and the tab is what makes that crawl consistent every single time. The rigid aluminum plate on the Bubba gives you a clean reference to count from, so once you've figured out your marks for each distance, you can come back to the same spot draw after draw.
The rubber strap uses a barrel lock that's fully adjustable, giving you a solid hold that won't shift around mid-session. Cordovan does take a little break-in before it hits its sweet spot, and once it's molded to your fingers it just gets better with age. This X-Large right-hand model suits larger hands, so if you're between sizes or shopping your first tab, it helps to match the leather to your fingers before you commit.
It's aimed squarely at barebow and traditional archers who string walk, where all three fingers hook below the nock. The rigid aluminum plate gives you a consistent reference to count your crawl from, which is exactly what repeatable string walking needs. Split-finger recurve shooters would be better off with a tab that has a spacer and ledge.
Shell cordovan is the go-to face for shooting tabs because it delivers the slickest, cleanest release available. It holds up to heavy use and only improves as it breaks in and molds to your fingers. That smooth release is a big reason string walkers favor it for tight, consistent groups.
The leather should cover your fingers completely when you're on the string, without extending past your fingertips. X-Large is built for larger hands, so if you're between sizes it helps to compare in person or check a sizing chart. Getting the fit right up front makes a real difference in how the tab feels and shoots.
Yes, like most quality leather tabs, cordovan needs a little break-in to reach its best feel. After some shooting it molds to your fingers and the release gets even smoother. Give it time on the string and it'll settle into a sweet spot that just gets better with age.
