This is my latest puzzle exploring the pointer arrows constraint. This is probably 2-2.5 in difficulty. If anyone enjoys this solve, there are also easy and intermediate difficulty puzzles available using this constraint.
Rules:

Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Pointer arrows: Digits along arrows sum to the value in the connected circle. Additionally, arrow tips point towards a cell containing the digit within the arrow's circle. The value in the arrow tip indicates the distance from the arrow tip to this cell. There may be other instances of the same digit between this cell and the arrow tip.

I agree with @aerenhart in every way. This is a nice constraint that should last. Very fun puzzle. Thanks!

I'm quite enjoying these pointer arrrows! They're way more fun than normal arrows, I ussually don't like those, but this extra constraint makes it more enjoyable for me. Thank you!
