I will agree that a calf hair tab is ultra slick, but I've never had a calf hair tab last more than a few months, without the hair wearing off....The Cordovan tab faces are extremely slick for a solid leather face, doesnt stretch much, if any at all if it gets wet, and always stays soft and supple, without being fragile...I spray my tab face occasionally with Camp Dry 13% Silicone spray..this makes it crazy slick...I have always wanted to try out the Seal skin tabs from Alaska Bowhunter Supply....I dont want a tab, actually, I'd just like to have a piece of seal skin to put on my Cavalier tab....Anybody ever try out sealskin?..Jim
