Description
String fingers take a beating on a recurve, and the October Mountain Hair Tab is built to soak up that punishment without dulling your feel for the shot. This is the large, left hand version in brown, sized for archers who draw with their left hand. It stacks three distinct materials into one tab so your fingers stay protected while the string still rolls off clean.
What Makes the Hair Tab Work
The face is genuine calf hair, backed by a rubber middle layer and a real leather backing. That combination gives you a slick, quiet release off the front while the rubber and leather absorb pressure behind it. The calf hair face is a favorite among traditional and Olympic-style recurve archers because it lets the string slide away smoothly instead of grabbing, which helps clean up your groups over a long session.
Consistent Anchor, Shot After Shot
This tab uses a split-finger design, meaning one finger rides above the nock and two ride below. A polymer finger spacer sits between your index and middle finger to keep them off the arrow and locked in the same spot every draw. That no-pinch spacer is a big deal for consistency, since inconsistent finger placement is one of the fastest ways to send arrows wandering.
Breaking It In
One of the nicer things about the Hair Tab is that it is trim to fit. You can shape the leather back to match your hand, and over time it molds and softens to your grip, so it feels more like a natural extension of your fingers than a piece of gear strapped on. Left hand and sized large, this one is ready for archers who want reliable finger protection that only gets better with use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the October Mountain Hair Tab really left hand specific?
Yes, this version is built for left hand archers, meaning you draw the string with your left hand. Make sure you match the tab to your dominant drawing hand rather than your eye dominance. Picking the wrong hand will put the spacer and shaping on the wrong side.
What are the three layers on the Hair Tab?
The face is genuine calf hair, followed by a rubber middle layer, and a real leather backing. The calf hair gives you a smooth, quiet release while the rubber and leather absorb string pressure. Together they keep your fingers comfortable through long shooting sessions.
Do I need to trim or break in the Hair Tab?
It comes trim to fit, so you can shape the leather back to match your hand for a cleaner fit. Over time the leather softens and molds to your fingers, so it feels more natural the more you shoot it. Most archers find it gets better after a few sessions.
Who is the split-finger design meant for?
The split-finger setup places one finger above the nock and two below, which is the standard grip for recurve and traditional archers. The polymer spacer keeps your fingers from pinching the arrow and holds them in the same position each draw. That consistency is what helps tighten your groups.
