Regarding carpet, the word is that used carpet is not good to use. The embedded sand and grit will chew up the arrows.
Good to know. And that makes perfect sense.
I have some Huge 5000 lb rated ratchet straps. I plan to lay a piece of plywood on either end and compress with the strap. With these straps and a wrecking bar, I have recovered a full-size chevy...yeah, they're that tough.
