Default My pull-offs suck.

I suck at pull-offs. Well, to give myself some credit, 1st string pull-offs to an open string aren't so bad. But on 2nd (or lower) string pull-offs, I always seem to catch the neighboring string, causing it to ring a tiny bit. It's even worse when I'm doing a pull-off to a fretted note: for a tune I'm working on, I need to pull-off from the 3rd fret to the 1st fret on the second string, and I always get a lot of fret buzz. I practice it over and over, slowly, trying to make sure I get it right, but I never get any better. I keep thinking that there must be something wrong about how I'm practicing because I'm not getting better, but I don't know what. Was there any subtlety to how you learned to do this?
