I picked up one last month too. First set of shots with broadhead and FP almost never got out. I now put some dish soap on the end of the arrow before shooting so I can get the arrows out. You have the same problem? What is your solution?

I heard that until you shoot them A LOT they are a pain to pull arrows out of. Nice large target surface though!

I was watching these for awhile, but they used to not ship them, just started a few months ago.  Will get one with the tax refund!

between the 24x24x10 in the box and the 24x24x12 out of the box the 10" is easier to pull arrows. but if you are shooting thousands and thousands of broadheads the 12" will hold up better. JMO

You will need a arrow puller for both. with a good arrow puller they are not that bad

I'll have to try that.  I have had mine for about 8 months and have only shot about 2 dozen arrows into it because of the difficulty pulling arrows out.  I had to turn my target on its back and stand on it to pull the arrows out.  I did try a little KY liquid on my arrows, which made them pull out a bit easier.  I hadn't thought of trying dish soap, and I wouldn't be nearly as embarrassed buying it at walmart.  ;D

i use a rubber arrow puller . the arrows come out pretty easy . about like shooting into a new 3D deer. i used "frixion fighter" at first but now i do not need it.

I always use the "spray and wipe" car wax and spray the first 4 or 5 inches of the arrow shaft and then buff it off.

I don't know about the blob but it works on most any other target I have shot.

My bowshop started stocking a product by 30 06 outdoors called String Snot and Arrow Snot.  I picked up some of the string snot to try, should have bought the arrow snot too.  It is a really light coating made to be able to withdraw the arrows easier.

Check out Big Green Targets. They are made out of recycled product and arrow removal is simple. They are from Lamar, MO and a great bunch of fellas. God bless. http://www.biggreentargets.com/about-big-green-targets.html (http://www.biggreentargets.com/about-big-green-targets.html)
