1/2 turn is normal for most people. If you turn it to 3/4 or 1 it will grab sooner. Motorcops and those that do slow maneuvers turn it out to 1. I run 1/2 turn and use a nickel's width at the perch ferrule. Best thing to do is turn the adjuster in until you feel resistance and repeat this about 3 times so you know that you are feeling it right then back it out.

Thanks Dawg, that is exactly what I was looking for. I'll take a shot at it this weekend.
