Once the wheel touches you should not be pointing it at anything you
plan to keep...

You can adjust the brake to provide limited stopping but it is never
going to lift the tail.

Gee, thanks, Bruce! The senior instructors at my club have been very
specific in their directions for when I land the Kestrel: land away
from everybody with nothing in front and don't taxi. I've diverted to
another runway (our club has several) to avoid the congestion.

If it weren't for the risk of tearing the drogue, I'd keep it attached
until I was almost stopped. As it is now, I jettison the chute just
after roundout.
