Having trouble picking an Arrow 5 pin tumbler lock

[pinbreaker]

It took me 2 frustrating days of spending many, many, hours of time to pick my front door, 5 pin tumbler, cylinder, deadbolt dexter lock. At first I picking it at the end of my 2nd day of practicing. Then I tried to pick it the 3rd day, and was successful in picking it several times that day. I progressively over the week got much better, and I came to a point where I was able to pick the dexter lock in under a minute fairly consistently (in many times in under 30 seconds).

The problem is I wanted to move on to more difficult things, and so I purchased an arrow lock.
After days of practicing, and hours of time, I still can't pick the thing!
I am very frustrated.
I hear all the pins click as I let go of the tension wrench, and so I figure I must be doing something right.

But I am frustrated because I just can't pick the thing. Its impossible.

I would be very greatful if anyone has any tips for me, to help me pick my arrow lock.

Thank you.

By the way, I notice that with lock picking, I am very successful when I get in a 'groove', and when I am not in a groove I am less successful.

I began learning lock picking by purchasing the Lock Picking "school in a box" at the URL: http://www.selfdefenseproducts.com/lock ... g_sets.htm

The locks in the lock picking "school in a box" are way too easy to pick. I managed to pick the 5 pin lock with in 10 minutes of trying! At this point I can pick the 5 pin lock from the school in a box, without even using a tension wrench and merely by using my pick to push the pins up and turn the plug at the same time. Its pathetic, and I don't think it resembles a real lock that much.
