Block Target

[jackelope]

A bar of soap rubbed on the first 6" of the arrow will work well, too. Bows are shooting so hard now that targets have to be double tough to stop an arrow. The target you have is fine; you'll just have to get used to hard pulls. Field points are always harder than broadheads: the broadheads cut their way in but a field point pushes stuff out of the way causing heat that melts a tiny bit of the target to the shaft.

Those deer targets in your backyard are amazingly difficult to pull arrows out of. I thought it was the camo textured finish on my arrows that were making them difficult to remove.

Camo arrows are a real beach most of the time!!  I like bag targets or one of the American Whitetail Hybrid for camo carbon arrows.

True story.  Camo makes it much tougher.  I've got 4 or 5 of the 3d targets that I don't shoot much because of the hard to pull factor.

On my Rinehart targets my plain carbon arrows pull much easier than camo wrapped arrows. Also, my 18 sided Rinehart will suck up arrows even at goofy angles so it makes practice at different elevations and views way more fun to not worry so much about ricochet.

x3 on the camo arrows being tougher to pull.

Go to a Rhinehart target and your will have no problems pulling arrows.  You will be a little light in the wallet however.

When I bought the Block I had intentions of getting the Rinehart but the kid at Sportsman's Whse. tells me the Block is on sale so I went with it. The spray silicone seems to help quite a bit for removal but it only lasts for a couple rounds so I end up spraying them a few times but that's ok. Doesn't say anywhere that it's for crossbows. I'm shooting from my yard to my pasture and it's a slight incline maybe 5-10 degrees so I think that angle is ok. I've got it set at 30yds and the bow is set at 60lbs so the arrows go in about 10" or so I think. Just had a thought, I'm wondering how paraffin would work? Any thoughts?
