Bolt/arrow puller?

Post by crazyfarmer »

Now I know these help pull the bolts out.. I havent shot my xbow yet but are the arrows really that hard to remove? Im guessing since they are shorter its hard to get a good grip on them? I see some made their own also.

just wondering why they are really needed.. again im sure ill find out when i shoot mine for the first time since its probably drives them in like nails

The bolts do penetrate deeply into a target, so they can be hard to grip. I had a bit of a problem with some bolts where the insert pulled out when I used the bolt puller. I guess that some folks assembling bolts don't know (or care) that there may be a pull force applied to the rear of the bolt.

I use both the Tee handle and the gorrilla grip when the bolt has sunk too deep.

Got mine from Dan Miller. He took a set of Sidecut pliers welded a threaded tube to them . cut the tube long ways in half and glued some rubber hose to the inside of the threaded tube. Sorry I can not post pictures of it. They work great. only $ 11.00.
I will try to email picture to someone so he can post for me.

I use a set of Dan's pullers and they work great! In foam targets just grip the arrow, give a slight twist to loosen the grip of the foam, and pull straight out.
