I posted a similar topic in the rope dart tribe, I know... but the solution that came out of that was big bulky knots, which wouldn't really work for meteor I don't think. How do you guys make this connection? I'm currently thinking of putting holes in the bungee cord i have and putting like... keychain rings through it? I don't know. I could use some help.

    I highly recommend that you not use key rings, as they will warp and bend (and ultimately fail) under the stress of meteor. I use 5/8ths" nylon rope pierced with a quicklink. Sadly, I don't have a photo to share, but its the lazy man's version of splicing rope. I melted the ends to seal the rope, and I have yet to replace it after over a year's use.
