Best to pull it ALL the way. It is VERY hard to gauge exactly how much is needed and too much is a LOT better than too little. Muscle memory is important and developing that requires doing it exactly the same way every time.

Or to put it another way.........don't try to get too "cute"; there really is nothing to be gained. :biggrin:
If you know where the friction zone is (via muscle memory) then you don't need to pull all the way in.
