arthur, you're a genius and thanks for the tip. my pins were going up when i drew, and when i began back tension that's the direction they wanted to go sometimes. i took 1/8 turn out of the top and bingo presto it was steady as a rock. i took out 1/8 more and it started wanting to go down a bit so i put the 1/8 back in. i really appreciate the pearls my man, i really do. the draw seems much smoother also. amazing what 1/8 of a turn will do.
