I had exact same problem regardless of placement with the HSS system....it sure as heck is unnacceptable to give up that much...heckI didnt wear mine half the time for this reason....until i used the rope/knot combo...it only added about 6" of slack, the way i do it, but thats all thats needed to be able to shoot anywhere.

GMATT is right though, staying in one piece is priority numero uno, luckily you dont have to sacrifice anything in this case.

I got the same problem, the tether is to short. Don't really want to spend anymore money, thinking of trying two tethers together and hope I don't fall but like Fork Horn said "Atleast Iwon't hit the ground"

I use the old belt system ..... something tells me it's not wise?

I bought a new bow this year and went with a Reflex Charger. Any thoughts from you guys on this bow? I just got out of the military and can finally get back to doing what I love. I've been out of the bowhunting seen for twele years and alot has changed. Thanks !!

[quote]I cut the so-called shock absorbing tear away stitching on mine, it adds alot of length. I might hurt when it catches, if i ever fall, but atleast i wont hit the ground!/quote]


dont think that's a good idea......think it voids warranty (if there is one). that's sewn like that for a reason. your vest do with it as you like.

prussic knot ftw!!!
