Woody's arrow lube and a good arrow puller currently I use a Third Hand Archery pro puller. Get ahold of me after the AMO Show and I'll introduce you to another good arrow puller. What carbons are you shooting?

I use a dip tube with silicone in it and it has worked pretty good for me. Try putting Pledge on the end 6" of each arrow before you start. Helps for the first few. I usually carry a small hotel size bar of soap in my pouch if I need it and just rub it on the last couple inches. DON'T twist a carbon shaft, especially in cold foam or you'll have pieces.

I don't have the patience for the melting stuff. I just crammed a bar in a deodorant dispenser. The dispenser shaves off what doesn't fit then cut off the excess lengthwise. Throw the cap on and chuck it in your quiver.

I do things a little different from most, as usual.<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

I take my arrows about once a month and wax the front half with a silicone paste car wax. Rub it in real good, let it haze up, and then wipe them down. Then I spray silicone lube (I like Blakemores' Reel Magic because it comes in a small can and fits real nice in my quiver) on the waxed part before going out to shoot and let it dry. After about 4-5 targets the arrow will start sticking again, and I just switch arrows. About the halfway through the shoot, I spray them down again.

It does two things. It makes the arrows easier to pull, of course, but it also cuts down on the amount of abrasion the carbons put on my prong covers and makes them last longer.

Gotta have a gorilla grip puller too.

Thanks guys you're awesome!
I will be ordering some Woody's, and &quot;Pig&quot; points.....they sound interesting. ANd I'll have a back-up Ivory soap bar hanging from quiver.
I'll be the envy of tired shooters everywhere!!<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
I was beginning to think I was going to have to rent the &quot;Jaws of Life&quot; to pull these things.
I've always shot pretty speedy bows, and carbons for the last 5 years, so pulling arrows has been a challenge for a while......I'm just stubborn I guess.
I started shooting a lot more &quot;Real&quot; 3D shoots last year and not just the backyard target for hunting practice.........Man are some of those new targets stiff!! Especially early in th eyear.
It took a few years but it finally sunk in......get some flippin' help!

5-Shot , man you're right......before the good info here I was almost hoping for pass thrus for 3D shooting. Make it a bit tough to score.......
This new bow is so fast it's practically sucking babies from their mothers arms as the arrow goes by......and they're indoors!<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

BowTech SHooter.....I'm shooting Carbon Impact &quot;Fat Shaft&quot; 6500's.
I'm going to cut up a new dozen and try to build a 325-330gr set-up to match the 65# weight if I'm gonna shoot that.
By the way......I might even go down a bit more in draw weight, but I'm off 2 1/2 turns already. How much more can I go on these bolts? I'd actually prefer to shoot about 62# for 3D so is another half turn too much?.
The first full turn didn't do much to drop the weight.

Once again guys you've come thru with valuable information and I thank you all......You've saved me carpal tunnel surgery I'm sure.<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

Looks like that Woody's address should be;

Thanks Steve.....I figured that one out pretty quick. Just got a picture of some monkey.
I had to go to Google.com to search for the correct one......I was going to post it but you beat me to it.
(you probably have it on your site somewhere.....what DON'T you have on that site! It's the best)

Pinwheel 12

Matt/Steve-

Sorry for the foul-up, but that is the address that came off of Gary's (Woody's) business card. Used to work! Good shooting, Pinwheel 12

Matt/Pa, They recommend no more than 3 turns out. Try it and see what poundage you come up with. Well guys I'm packing for Nashville and gotta leave early in the Morn. Talk to ya after the show..
