This is my latest puzzle exploring the pointer arrows constraint and will likely be the last for a while. If anyone enjoys this solve, there are also introductory, easy and intermediate difficulty puzzles available using this constraint.
Rules:
Below is an example to illustrate the rule set.

Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Renban lines: Digits along pink lines are a consecutive set without repeats.
- 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.
Below is an example to illustrate the rule set.
