Hi all,

Back at the start of January I purchased a set of Easton ACC's and started to enjoy the improved shooting they give.

However, the club I belong to shoots once a week indoors and therefore we only shoot at 20 yards on straw bosses that are about 16 months old. So last weekend we went to shoot outdoors for the first time this year.
The problem was that I had to shoot at 40 yards on a brand new straw boss which meant that when it can to retrieving the arrows they were so well stuck in there that it took two other club members to hold the boss while I tried to pull the arrows out. In the end the effort of doing this has caused the hand that I push against the boss with to be bruised across the knuckles and even split the skin at one point.

So, the question is, how effective are the arrow lubes for removing them from new straw bosses and which lube can be used for Easton ACC's?

Anyone’s experience with this would be appreciated.

EDIT -
Having re-done a search on here, it appears that everything from car polish to furniture polish to olive oil has been used, but I have failed to find anyone actually recommending a purchased lube (especially for ACC's).
There is also a reasonible amount of chatter regarding the delaminating and debonsing of carbon and carbon/alluminuim arrows without anybody actually highlighting an actual case as well as the migrating of silicone up the shafts

Has anybody actually found physical evidence of any of these 'problems'?
