    So i just got into a little target shooting recently and i sunk a Field point into my retaining wall by accident. I finally got it after spending an hour trying to dig it out.

    Would you guys happen to know any helpful tips to retrieve them?

    3 choices

    1. Cut out around the tip with a knife (preferred method....if you wanna save everything).
    2. If it isn't too deep, just unscrew and leave the tip in the wood.
    3. Try to pull it out....which usually ends up badly.

    Yeah, unscrew it, and don't do it again!

    Components are cheap. Unscrew and aim better. :)
