Title: Arrow finish?
Post by: madness522 on March 15, 2007, 01:51:00 PM
Has anyone using a poly finish had a hard timer getting arrows out of targets?  I noticed that my arrows were harder to pull than most of the other guys and gals arrows I shot with this past weekend.  One guy told me that the poly heats up a little as the arrow sinks into the target thus making it harder to pull out.  I have been using a poly finish on the shafts and wondered if a shellac finish would be better and make the arrows easier to pull out of a target?

Put some Pledge funiture polish on your shafts.  I do this when I shoot my woodies into 3D targets.  I have also heard of using Armour All.

I started using plain pastewax.

I'm with Tex.

Johnson Paste Wax works.

Try carrying a bar of Ivory soap with you, and rubbing it on the last couple inches every few shots.

Great ideas.  Since I already carry string wax would that work or make them more difficult to pull?
