All our new beginners and club members get a arrow puller made from this when they join the club :cheerful: A nice GNAS green one :archer2:disbloke said:Another alternative arrow puller, the anti-rug slip pads, nice and cheap share with you friends and you can get many a puller out of one mat!
Well if you shoot compound ...... it works quite well on the arrows all our recurve archers shoot .... if I don't like the way my arrows are being pulled I specifically state I will pull them myself. In training or in cometition.whisky said:The non slip type 'cloth' stuff and jar opening pads are not good for pulling all arrows. The times I've nearly blown my top watching archers bending my arrows pulling them from the boss because they're all to pikey to spend ?3-?5on a proper arrow puller (and I wasn't pulling them coz I was scoring).
Using anything other than an arrow puller can also cause tendon inflamation so why put yourself at risk of injury?

SVL - so if you are the designated scorer in a comp is it fair that you have to oversee and record the scoring aswell as pulling your own arrows?? Unfortunately it doesn't work that easily as arrows are often close together so it's difficult for other archers just to leave your arrows in the boss. And you then end up doubly tired if it's a really hard boss.SVL said:Well if you shoot compound ...... it works quite well on the arrows all our recurve archers shoot .... if I don't like the way my arrows are being pulled I specifically state I will pull them myself.

it is with most "carbon" arrows, any arrow with a metal core CAN be bent, tho it is quite hard work (I have a beautifully bent one from BUSA)elastoplastscavenger said:is it possible to bend carbon arrows? im guessing they are either straight or broken.
Absolutely agree there Whisky, i`ve seen two x10`s busted that way where the persons were pulling too close to the boss with those!:thumbsdowThe non slip type 'cloth' stuff and jar opening pads are not good for pulling all arrows.

I hated it. It was the cycle of 'pull arrow. Peel puller off shaft, peel puller off itself, pull next arrow' - slowed things down immensely.I use a very thin sticky rubber sheet. Bought from Alternative Archery. Aro-Pula. Great. When it loses it's stickyness. Wash it under a tap. Good as new. Only drawback is pulling wet alloys. They tent to slip and slide with this device, but great on woodies, A/C's and carbons
