(37) My approach to learning Raking

In this video I talk about how I am working on improving one of my weakest skills in lockpicking: Raking! I take a similar approach to progressive pinning where I pin my practice lock to a bitting that is easy to rake, then repin it to a bitting that is a bit more difficult and so on.

One thing to note is that I don't talk about security pins in this video. I am no where near ready to record a video with those involved. Currently all the locks that I rake have standard driver pins so that I can focus on technique, then I can add in other challenging factors.

I am just a newbie in the locksport/lockpicking world. I am not a professional and only have been in this hobby for a few months at this point.

Let's keep lock sport legal! Only pick locks that you own and do not use!
