Barreled arrows

DC:
Has anyone noticed that barreled arrows are harder to pull out of the target? I was shooting my new Spruce/Purpleheart arrows last night and I had to use the "two hands with the elbow braced against the target" to get them out. I'm thinking it's the tapered foreshaft that's wedging itself in the target. Or the finish was still a little rough, could that stick them in?

Hawkdancer:
The target material may have something to do with it.  How far are the arrows penetrating?

My regular bamboo arrows don't stick. They go in about a foot. It's the targets at our range and they are getting shot out. The arrows only stick in the firm, like new, sections.

Woodely:
Remember we use to use Armor-All on the Vinyl upholstery. .......     ;D  or use silicone spray on the arrows.

DC:
I usually Armor-all my arrows but I was waiting until I was fer sure finished. It does help a lot.
