Isn't "clockwise" what is being referred to in the last few posts? If not, then yes, that's how I do it too.
I do it clockwise:
If you wrap it the other direction (counter-clockwise), it tries to spit the wire out as you tighten down the screw.
Maybe it's the size of my coils or the way I have it running across the deck, but I haven't seen any problems with the clockwise wrap. The ends line up almost perfectly to where they need to go under the screw.
That looks like about 14 wraps.
. . . if the coil separates a little bit I just fire and squeeze .
Hopefully not at the same time.

So here's a KFL question. When you connect the coil which side of the screw do you put it on? One side pulls the other pushes. I put it on the pull side or the 9:00 side. Either way the coil gets distorted a little. I've made a washer of sorts to go under the screw on one side as a test. It seems to do the job. But I made it from brass and it was a pain. I'm going to get a strip of SS and try it. The thing I'm trying to do is keep the coil from moving when you tighten it.
