How do you clutch?...
No I'm not asking how to clutch it up haha I'm wondering more so on your finger position when pulling in the lever. Do you pull with the middle of your fingers? Do you pull with the tips? I have a MSR EZ-Pull Raptor lever on my F4i an I see a lot of stunters who cut the tip off. Do you guys do this so you can just slide your finger off the clutch to pop it?

Me personally, I use the tip of my 1 finger and just let it pop - I guess it just slides off the top of the lever - but what do I know - I suck. I got a raptor lever too w the moose ez pull system - pulls like butter now that its set up right.

+999 and the only reason my lever is cut is so I can get to my HB with my middle finger.

Re: How do you clutch?...
I have a moose easy pull on my F4i. I use the tip or first bend of my pointer finger right where the bend is in the clutch lever. I see people cut their cluth levers just to make it easier to grab the HB. Everyone is different so what's ever comfortable to the rider...
