Removing string tabs?

Hi all, our club has just purchased a couple more beginner bows and they've come with string tabs(stupid rubber tubes just below the nocking point). Is there any way to easily remove them? I've managed to remove two so far by gradually sliding it down the string but have removed the top layers of skin from my fingers in the process. They're too tight on the string to cut off, I'm not bothered if they don't come off whole.

Hi,
I've never tried this so can't guarantee that it will work. Get a piece of wood about 6ins long by about 1in square. Drill a hole slightly bigger than the string about 1/3 down from the edge and in the centre of the longest dimention. Now cut down through that 1/3 with a saw until you reach the hole. If you get this far it should be obvious how to use it but if not let me know.
