from H.M. of South Africa:

"Good day Coach,
 
Firstly thank you for 2 superb books - Total Archery and Inside the Archer. I am taking these books chapter by chapter and working gradually on improving my form.
 
Please can you tell me what the difference in performance of the brass KSL Gold Finger tab as opposed to the aluminium one is and which is the preferable choice?
 
Many thanks for your time. Kind regards."

Thank you for your kind words re books.
 
Re finger tabs- Finger tabs are a very personal choice, a bit like a putter in golf; what feels good to one might not necessarily feel good to someone else. However, having said that, the thinking behind having either aluminium or brass is that brass is much heavier than the aluminium, which our archers feel gives them better momentum and control of the release, but as I said before, it all depends on personal feel.
 
We hope this will help you to decide.
