Once you've got the needle in pull back on the plunger to see if youv'e hit a blod vessel/vein. If you have you will draw blood into the syringe, if that happens change needles and find another site, if you pull air into the syringe then you're good to go.

those of you that voted yes. how many times if any have you drawn in blood when pulling back - just out of interest?

I have never drawn blood as of yet from aspirting but my training partner draws blood on average about 3 out of 10 times when he shoots!, so you may not draw blood all the time but there will be that one time when you think screw it and bam straight in to a vein!, not worth the risk aspirate always IMO!.

I have only drawn blood 3 times out of 3 cycles in total... and will allways aspirate, if only for the waste of gear if nothing else lol.

It doesn't help that I'm as blind as Jady Goodies' boyfriends in my right eye. Left aint exactly a telescope either. Where's the self-pity emoticon :?:

Are you shooting in the glutimus maximus (sp?) As i shoot in the medial glute and have no problems seeing the site, this is also the preferred method as there are less nerves in this area
