I have the Morrell Yellow Jacket Broadhead target. Shooting it with a compound bow is hard enough to pull the broadheads. Now try shooting it with the Barnett Ghost 410 at 400 feet per second. I had to drive the arrow through, unscrew the broad head, then drive the shaft back flush. I then used a drift punch to drive the shaft back out farther. Using an arrow gripper I finally got the shaft out. Carbon arrows are the worst as they generate a lot of heat entering the target. When they eventually cool, they seem to bond to the target filling. Aluminum works the opposite as they dissipate the heat and even though hard to pull, they are still much easier than carbon. All the best.
