I love my carbon arrows but the couple of aluminum shafts I have are a lot easier to pull out. This was also the first time I shot at unknown distances (I didn't ask the range staff before hand) and it was easier than I expected to estimate the distance and get solid hits.

Wiggling the shafts seemed to work well |

Trick my FIL told me was with 3D targets is to rub the arrows with a bar of soap, makes the arrows come out a WHOLE lot easier. |
