Is nomans tek straight to base? I am not familiar with it but on quick read thru it appears so and that may have something to do with why a much longer time than an hour is necessary for pulls.

Hard to say since you did deviate slightly then much further with subsequent pulls, I try to follow the teks to the t as close as possible for best outcome but I am also doing A/B teks.

Glad you came out with something though as it is truley disappointing to put in the effort for a total let down
