Title : Saves time and fletching damage
Detailed Review : I shoot carbon arrows from a 60# single cam compound bow and struggle to pull the arrows out of high density targets; I very nearly snapped a few arrows trying to lever them out, and I slipped once and damaged the fletchings once also. My new Cartel arrow puller has made a huge difference. It doesn't get 5 stars because you've got to make sure you really grab the arrow deeply into the arrow puller to ensure a good hold before pulling it out. And the belt clip gets in the way, so I took it off and just keep the arrow puller in my pocket.

Title : Embarrassment insurance!
Detailed Review : So, you're a man. A manly man with stubble on your chin, hair on your chest and a bow draw weight of two Amanda Vanstones. Your arrows are coming out so fast that the vanes have heat damage and the shock wave rearranges the grass each shot. Special targets have had to be made just for you, using spare railway sleepers just to slow the arrows down. It's all looking good until you wander down to the butt, wrap your hand around your slender carbon shaft and go to pull it out. At this point, you may discover something rather unfortunate about some kinds of modern target butt. Sure they stop the arrows, but they seem to work equally well in both directions. And you've just bought some of the tiniest carbon shafts known to man, haven't you? They offer a whole lot less surface area for air drag and they're nicely polished to a gloss finish. Exactly the wrong characteristics for you to get a good grip on them. Dilemma! Sometimes, a quick breath on your hands will give you enough grip to get them out. Other times, it won't and you'll be left out on the range while everyone else is back at the line, wondering why you invested in every piece of gear known to man except an arrow puller. Cartel's arrow puller is a nice firm rubber device. It comes with a little belt tag that clips on one side. There's just one more reason to wear a belt. Personally, I skipped the belt clip and made a secondary line that clips to my trusty quiver. That way it's going to be a lot harder to lose. How does it work? You stick it on the shaft of the arrow and it lets you get all of the force of your hand onto something of a reasonable diameter. It's more of a round shape than the others that I've seen. I don't know of much more to write about it than it's a bit like a seat belt or jumper leads. It's a piece of gear that you hope you won't have to use, but you're very glad of having it when you need it. How does one describe the cons of an arrow puller? They're only made in black and white?
