I found my rine hart had to dry out in the yard for about a year. After that arrows pulled out like butter no matter what. I shoot Easton Axis and Easton FMJ but I've also put Beman and Easton Flatline in. Horrible the first year but best target I own now.The best target day one was "The Block" I've also punched out bulldog, morell yellow jacket , Mackenzie and some cheaper no names.
