Well,Kismet,tell your "friend" that there are basically two things that mess up a "draw"...
Worrying about speed is the worst thing you can do.The stress messes with your mind,it could make you way too fast,or way too slow.Either one of which can be a big problem.
Another problem is wasted motion.The most effective motion is clean and un-cluttered.Smooth,fluid movements allow the most effective speed and accuracy,thus a more satisfying performance.Also.Dana,this should help keep you from being so sore,too.
Dana,anytime I can be of service to you (or you Seven),just let me know.
Kismet,I hope my advice helps your uh,"friend".
Always,
Cowboy
It took me quite a while to realize that the real deal is to be able to be enough of a person on your own to know when somebody loves you and cares about you.
