Hopefully this community isn’t dead and someone will see it.

I’m a vegetarian leaning vegan who just got into archery and I need some kind of finger protection. All finger tabs I see are made of leather, but obviously I want to avoid that; and I’ve also seen gloves made from plastics, but ideally I’d like to avoid plastics as well since they’re not very sustainable.

I’ve seen some videos of people making their own finger tabs from leather and it appears quite simple, so I had the idea of making mine using denim from an old pair of jeans.

So, how viable do you think denim is? I expect one tab won’t last as long as if it was leather or plastic, but I have an entire pair of jeans to go through.

EDIT: Thanks for all the answers! I’m still in the process of getting federated so I can start going to the range regularly, but I think once I do I will try the denim method to see how it goes and then post an update. I’ll probably use it for a month or until it falls apart, whichever comes first.
