For Linesmen only, and those who want to be like us.....

Hardly earth-shattering material here but I'd like to know preferences on where to put the clip when the chains are set. I thought I was told back edge of the line running across the field, furthest from the line to gain. That way, you use as much chain as possible when measuring. In other words,
1st and 10 on the 22. Line to gain is the 32. The clip would be on the back side of the 25 as opposed to the 30 yard line.
