I didn't think to mention that this is model specific. Which models I don't know but I do know that my 3yr old Summit Bushmaster did this to me. And I base cutting the straps on my particular model. Mine was sewed to the upper most crossmember from the factory. I don't use this stand anymore since I bought my LW but had to do this modification for my brother since I donated it to him.

Option 2: get a LW
