Reinhart targets  are easy to pull arrows out of. A lot of the problem pulling woodies from 3D targets is the type of finish on the arrows. Poly finishes tend to melt on arrow entry and bond to the target foam(target burn). Gasket lacquer doesn't target burn but isn't the best finish for sealing.

When I am practicing with Mr. Pork Chop (grandaughter named it). I coat the front quarter of my arrows with spray furniture wax. Seems to make the removal a little easier. I hope this will work for you.

I work for John Deere and they have a product that is a silicone spray, this stuff works well.

Paste wax works pretty good also.

Get a Rinehart 3D and ya wont have to worry about lubes....

I save some of the little bars of soap from hotels and rub them on the front half of my arrow.  Really helps with removal and stops the burn that Eric mentioned.
