i just wanted to post a comment on my experiences. I used to use the same needle to draw as i did to shoot because i didnt think the rubber on the vial could dull it that much and my pinz always went in easilly. well the other day i used 1 pin to draw and a fresh pin to shoot. The pin went in so easilly w/o any pain at all i was amazed. just thought i'd share that for anyone using there pin to draw/shoot def go with a fresh pin to shoot its much easier
