AAE Cavalier Elite Tab
Fair
Ranked #7 of 7 finger tabs & shooting gloves
$74.99
The AAE Cavalier Elite is a target archer's tab — an anodized aluminum plate carrying a replaceable cordovan face, an adjustable anchor ledge, and a plastic finger spacer, all tunable to your hand. This is the platform Olympic and barebow shooters build a consistent release on, and the reason it costs ten times a beginner tab: everything on it adjusts, and when the cordovan wears you swap the face, not the tab. Overkill for a beginner, essential once your release is the limiting factor.
Standout feature: A machined-plate, cordovan-faced, fully adjustable competition tab — the target archer's platform.
