Hi everyone, I bought a Mares Sniper Pro and I can't figure out how to wrap the shooting line! Can anyone help?

The line runs over the groove on the right hand side spear end then back to the shooting pin and then I'm not sure. There is a plastic fin on the side of the gun, but there is not enough line to run to it and back to the pin. I've attached some photos for reference. I can't find any guides on-line.

Thanks for your help!

I got it in the end. I was overthinking it. Both sides of the loop needed to be tucked below the plastic tab. I didn't have to wrap it back like I was trying to do in the the photos. Thanks for the response.

Hi there, I saw your post and I’m confused how to do it. Any chance you can explain?

After the line is clipped on the shaft, it goes through the muzzle hole alongside the shaft and then down and back, on the right side groove of the muzzle. From there it goes all the way back until it loops around the metal pin (that little wing on the right side is so the line can go under there so it's less visible) and then toward the muzzle again, from where it connects to the reel rope that goes inside the small hole underneath the muzzle (the line does not go into that hole)

Does this look right to you? Thank you and really appreciate the help, I’m new to this!
It looks 99% correct, just make sure to tuck both lines under the 'wing'. the 'wing' is a holder so the line doesn't get in the way, and if you leave one under and the other above then it might bump on it as an obstacle during the shot
