This picture is no exaggeration. I had to do this twice today to get arrows out and it's not just these targets.

My concern with putting anything on them is then I lose any chance I had of a grip on them.
You just put it on the first 6" or so of the arrow. I was going to say the first 6" of the shaft, but that sounds pretty weird :o

My wife's carbon arrows don't stick like that either but shes only shooting a 40# bow.

I have Axis arrows with the camo, brutal to get them out of anything :bash: I learned to give them a little twist as I start to pull with my arrow puller and it helps a lot. They do get better once the camo starts to fade.Twisting them to break the bond does make you think it's a good idea and help, but it's a great way to create a place for the arrow to break. That's the weak direction of the arrow because of the way they are made/wrapped/woven. You'll put micro-cracks in the resin-to-carbon interface making a weak point.

Is the dog helping you pull?
Yes. All 12 pounds.

Hey. Pretty sure your targets were the 1st place I've experienced the joy of this experience.

You're just jealous.

Been doing this method for years with thousands of shots on the same range arrows with no problems, just throwing an idea out there.I have Axis arrows with the camo, brutal to get them out of anything :bash: I learned to give them a little twist as I start to pull with my arrow puller and it helps a lot.

Anybody use this stuff?
I like most everything from AAE, but when it comes to arrow lube Scorpion Venom is the stuff you want. Just don't get it too far up on the arrow or you won't ever get enough grip to pull. Stuff is wicked slickery. A good paste car wax like Meguiar's also works well, but be careful as it will often remove the finish.
Camo carbon arrows are a bear no matter whose brand. The heat created by penetration basically welds the target to the arrow. Best thing to do if shooting 3-D's is to get non-camo shafts. And even then it's best to get one without a coating. They might wear out faster, but you won't herniate yourself pulling them. Especially if your range has McKenzie targets.
ToddID is absolutely correct about the twisting thing. Good way to ruin some arrows. You might get away with it for a while, but eventually you will have a failure. Hopefully you will notice it before it blows up during the shot.
