I've tied the shock cord to the eyelet in the nose cone base.
Normally (on a larger diameter tube) I would cut the cord end about 1/4" to 3/8" from the knot. I'd keep it short so it wouldn't get caught between the nose cone shoulder and top of the body tube. The shock cord can get caught in the nose cone shoulder especially on a small diameter body tube like this BT-5.
If the plastic nose cone has an open base, I'll leave it longer and tuck the end into the shoulder. With this small diameter body tube it won't get in the way when the nose cone is slid in place.
