Arrows sticking in foam targets?
Try spraying them with Jig-a-Loo, a dry lube from WalMart. Works absolutely great.

Bought a can today. Then I got to thinking (dangerous thing I know). This vortex sinks the arrow up to the fletching now. So by spraying the arrow it might go in past the fletching. Or are you talking about 3-D targets?

1)It's in the automotive dept, with gas additives, etc.
2) No it's not a foam 3 D target, it's a rubber layered generic block.
3) I'm shooting a Vortex too. The arrows generally stop short of the vanes when shot at 35 yards (that's the placement of this particular target). If the hit is a 'soft spot' and goes too deep I just pull them out the back. 2'' Blazers are no worse for wear.
BTW I made my own targets for closer shots. I use a large nylon mesh feed sack and jam it full of returned plastic bags I pick up at several stores. In the areas I expect arrows to hit, I fill plastic bags with old clothes. Pack around them nice and tight using more scrap plastic. I use a hog nose ring pliers and medium hog nose rings to close the top. Make super targets, arrows come out using two fingers. This way I have targets out at 4 distances throughout the back yard for practicing.. I save my Block for broadheads. But since I switched to Slick Tricks don't need to practice with bheads much as they fly like the field points.

A feed sack stuffed with other feed sacks works great too, get them in there tight.8up wrote:Thanks for the info. I have about 100 of the feed sacks.
