    I’ve heard that some people use furniture polish or some sort of lube on carbon arrows to make them easier to pull from targets. Do any of you do this? What does or doesn’t work for this?

    Get a spyderweb no speed limit target and never buy another target.
    Two finger removal.
    You won’t bury your arrows either.

    The lube is typically so the target material doesn’t melt to the shaft. Again, not necessary with ^

    If one is shooting targets at various club shoots. It is real hard to control the type of material used in the backstop behind the target face.

    Yes, wax does help.

    Silicone spray. Spray only the forward half of the arrow. Wipe off excess. Very slippery, don’t coat the whole arrow or you won’t be able to grip it. Use only pure silicone spray, not break free type products.

    I also carry an arrow puller for arrows that are really really stuck. I’m sure this has saved me from breaking several arrows.
