Rawk!

Got it again a couple of times this morning, but now I'm stuck again. This is a bit funny.

Thanks for the cookies. Very nice. But it's pizza time for me.

Oh, also my friend lockd me out and I picked my way back in. Good thing too, it was hot outside.

have you tried raking it at all? i've had most to all of my success with raking a lock. I found that raking sets more pins faster. its just a thought.

good luck.

raking will give you bad picking skills. practice single pin picking and you will become a better picker.

i've tried pin by pin, and spent hours trying to get a 3 pin lock. got it twice in 4 hours.

i've gotten it 12 times in 5 minutes by raking

raking may be easier in the beginning, but in the end, single pin picking will help a lot more. Just being able to rake will not only limit what locks u can pick, but it's relying a lot on luck.
