The elastic shock cord was tied to the lug at the bottom of the nose cone shoulder. Notice the tail was not cut off.
When packing the chute, the short shock cord tail can get wedged between the nose cone shoulder and the end of the body tube.
TIP: On this style nose cone - Push the shock cord tail inside the open holes beneath the tie off lug.
The parachute shroud lines were tied to a shock cord loop a few inches away from the nose cone.
I used the Target bag parachute shown in an earlier blog post.
