Got a Block on sale yesterday at Sprts. Whs., got it home and put a couple arrows into it and couldn't believe how hard it was to pull the buggers out!!!! :yike: Jeeze!!!! So this morning before I go out I spray one with silicone and one without. Went down to pull 'em out and the one with the silicone was way easier to remove than the one without so I sprayed the rest of my arrows with the silicone and all is nice now. I spose everyone has been doing that since day one. :bash: :chuckle: Anyway I thought it was a pretty cool idea. :tup:Humm, nope never sprayed arrows with silicone, is it a broadhead only target?
I shot my broadhead block type target with field points and they were alot harder to remove.. :twocents:

I'm using field points. Don't know that I want to try to remove a broadhead from that stuff. The one I sprayed didn't appear to penetrate any farther than the one without.The block i use over at camp is a broadhead only target (can't rember the name, yellow with hornets on the side), broadheads come out pretty easy, but field points really dont, i would not of believed it had i not tried it myself..

broadheads actually come out much easier than field points.

I don't think I'll be using my Triple Secs for target shooting too much.
It would suck to miss :chuckle:

Sometimes you can shoot too steep an angle on the block targets making them more difficult to pull arrows from. I try to always have the target elevated so the arrows hit as close to a right angle as possible. And, as with any target, I always make sure my inserts and/or field points are properly matched to the diameter of the arrow.

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.A bar of soap rubbed on the first 6" of the arrow will work well, too.

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