Thanks, Hank. Happily the mechanism with the paracord only has to work once per match. We have lots of weight allowance we could use to replace all the cord with chain, if it came down to it. During the match we plan to wad up the slack cord and wrap it with rubber bands. The theory is that it will deploy without getting hung up. We'll see, though...
