If it feels pretty soft, you have your bolt carrier moving just fast enough to do the job of extracting and ejecting your brass.
However, you may be on the edge between function and malfunction. If you get short-stroking or the BCG isn't catching the bolt catch on the last round, you'll have to open up the gas adjustment a bit.

Well said. 3ft ejection sounds nice to me, but watch what happens over time. Many shooters who re-load for the AR15 prefer a short ejection path, and will even modify their ejector spring to achieve this.
