Yeah do this:

Unscrew them until they are almost out. Then shift into first and see where the shifter stops. Then set the screw to that location while still in 1st - check 3rd too while you're at it. Then do the same thing for 2nd and 4th gear. This will set the stop screws at their ideal location - enough to get it in gear, and enough to stop you from overshifting during race conditions.
