you guys are on point. thanks. that must be what the string is. of course i have too little overhang to use the string,(the ring hits the muzzle by an inch or so), if i run the cable through the ring loop ,instead of attaching to it, in order to use shooting line to hold it down, it is about 1.5 inches short. Too short AND too long. story of my life. i guess 90 bucks isnt enough. now i need a cable crimper for ss cable,(will mono crimper work?)probably not. someday i will get it together.maybe even get that 60#black that bent my toggle and broke my spear the first time i took my homemade gun in the water. So help me god.
