Arrow Removal

[Tabers Best]

Just wondering if there is anyway to make removal from my new 3d deer target easier. I mean it was sh@*y to get the arrows out. I was just shooting field points. I wonder if the colder weather makes it harder to take out. So far I have only shoot 3 arrows into it and the have all been in the replaceable vitals pull out section. My buddy has a little Delta target and we were able to pull out the arrows with one hand(but this was in summer).

Any recommendations as to a special field point or something like that, or maybe I shouldn't shoot unless I am 30 or more yards away.

yes shooting in cold weather makes the arrows harder to pull out for sure.
I would go get yourself some woody's arrow lube and lube the first 3 inches behind the point should help drastically. the woody's lube will allow you to shoot prob 5-10 times with each arrow before needing to relube. If you cannot find any of this go to the shower and get some Ivory bar soap, needs to be ivory the others just dont work. you will have to rub it on every shot but they will come out easier.
If that does not work for you I have seen guys spray their arrows 3-4 inches with Pam or spray canola oil.

Hope this helps
I would try to find the woody's before to long tho

Stay away from the scorpion snot - that crap get all over everything.

Just ask Trav.

Are you using a rubber arrow puller and they are still hard to remove? I bought mine from three rivers archery and it's lasted a long time and cheap as heck.

Went to Lane Archery in Lethbridge and they had both the Woody's Arrow Lube and Arrow pullers. Took the deer target out today and wow what a difference those two items made. Even when I put an arrow into the body outside of the replaceable part, I was able to get it out a lot easier.

Thanks for the help boys I had a lot more fun today than I did without those 2 items.

Sounds cool. ^^

Took the wife to Lane archery today and we set up her bow today. We also brought a SABA membership. They told us about some shoots coming up. Sounds like fun I will PM you if we go or you can PM me if you are going.

I think that I got bit by the Archery bug bad.

I brought a stabilizer today. Seems cool. But we made a little adjustment to my sights today after installing. Seemed that I was a little left. Grouped good and consistantley but a little left. Now it will be better.
