Nope, with the adjustment all the way out the tip of the release is
just barely covered, and it doesn't match the timing of the other tip
(which is not adjustable).  This is not how it was when I first got
it, and I'm at a complete lost as to why it is this way now.  It
worked fine before the trip, was OK the first couple of days, and then
when I pulled it out of my bag at Kennedy Space Center it wasn't
working correctly.  Oh well.
