Many crossbow archers are experiencing a very tough time pulling arrows from some of today’s broadhead targets. I recently purchased a Morrell Yellow Jacket yj-380 target and it stopped my arrows well but had a really hard time pulling my crossbow arrows.
Accordingly, I have purchased the 10 Point Arrow Puller below and it comes with different grip diameters.
It works great for some layered foam targets but less so for the Yellow Jacket. I really struggled, even sitting on the target! The yellow jacket really grips your arrow. I have found several arrow lubricants that aid in pulling arrows. Most lubes cost around 15 bucks. You can find them on Amazon. But I’m using some recommended shoe shine polish at $6.70 dollars on Amazon. Others use Ivory soap on a few inches of the arrow tip to keep the cost down. I will try that too.
I will update what I find works. The key is, don’t get arrow lube on your hands or you will find it almost impossible to pull your arrows.
This polish has a brush you can use to apply to the first few inches of your arrow.
I have two 3D Targets coming, A bear and a deer. We will see how my crossbow bolts pull from them with some lubricant.
Good Shooting and Easier Arrow Pulling!
