We got a lot of shooters using them...all are hunters but use them for indoor leagues etc...with the scorpion lube they are not as bad as any...with use they get easier...steel wool will shine them up making them a little easier...its the "Buff Tuff" coating that makes them a little resistant...but also one of the tuffest arrows in the world...
To some the weight forward and Dynamic Spine and an fixed broadhead shooting design is worth the little effort to pull arrows...
I mean what the Buff tuff...one pulls a 70 lb bow and complains about pulling arrows...lol
