I'm not going to say anything.

Still not saying anything.

1. Tie string on here. Make sure the trigger is as far forward as it will go; this is crucial. I think :) 2. Thread the other end through here
3. Tie the end on this. Make sure the whole string is tight and that the firing pin is out of the way of the block and the block is all the way down, stopping the firing pin.
4. Tie a string 6 or 7 inches long onto here

Add Rubberbands

3. Other ends go on here
4. Take these...
