Spent some time rolling today

Not my absolute best, but definitely getting better.

What tips do you guys have for nailing your preferred draw?

Rolling a ton of bunches, checking the draw on each and then immediately adjusting on the next one, attempting to calibrate. It's the only way. After enough bunches your hands will have a feel for what that leaf should feel like in your hand and how much pressure you should be applying as you bunch, depending on your situation, e.g. freehand/molded, bunch thickness, etc. This is between your hands, the world, and your central nervous system, and they have to sort it out through work.

... and keep your filler rather dry

Practice practice practice I guess.

How dry @webmost ? I've had some trouble doing entubado if the filler is too dry. Maybe I have over done it on the case some though

Again, somewhere around the 21st minute of this vid right here:


It's the only vid where I have ever seen this important subject discussed.

Set the draw at the shoulder and the burn through the barrel.
