Default How to install Strin Leech

OK, this is probably a rediculous question, but the directions on the package were not as clear as they could be. One picture seems to have them on way and the other picture the other.

So, how do you install string leeches?

Do the little "wings" go in the plane with the arrow (see the edge of the wings while shooting) or do they go the other way (seeing the tops/bottoms of the wings while shooting)?

Thanks in advance,

PM

#2 is the way I installed them in the past. Left them on until they decided to depart...

Thought I should clarify, with them installed and holding the bow in front of you at brace, you should be able to see the fins on the left and right of the bowstring, not the front and back of it.

"Wings" go vertical inline with string

Do the two repsonses above contradict one another?

I think maybe I should re-phrase my question, although I am not even sure I can.

OK, one little wing ends up pointing up and the other pointing down. Now, how to rotate the thing?

When shooting the bow, should one wing be "leading", meaning should it fly on its edge or should it be going forward "flat".

Thanks for the help and clarification.

This is what it should like like if you are holding the bow strait out in front of you. So in other words this is the view from the rear.

Thank you very much Buckeye. I guess a picture is worth a thousand words, considering that is about how many it took me to describe my question!

Thanks again,
