The non slip type 'cloth' stuff and jar opening pads are not good for pulling all arrows. The times I've nearly blown my top watching archers bending my arrows pulling them from the boss because they're all to pikey to spend £3-£5on a proper arrow puller (and I wasn't pulling them coz I was scoring).
Using anything other than an arrow puller can also cause tendon inflamation so why put yourself at risk of injury?
