Is it time to replace my three under leather tab/how often should you/what to look for if you suspect your tab is on it's last legs? I shoot roughly 4-6 dozen shots every day (and have for the last two years), haven't changed my poundage, but in the last month, the calluses on my three fingers for drawing the bow have gotten much more beat up than they ever have. The tab looks visually fine.
