Putting in Leathers

[Gannonthecannon]

hey, i searched and didnt find anythin useful,

but ive always been curious why some people put their leathers in useing both cut holes to attach them to the scoop. rather then just use one. ive found through my personal experience that whenever i do it through both, they bunch up or cause a little bump at the top of the pocket.

well what kind of pocket are you stringing????

in most cases it is easily removed by having a set of nylons go over the "bump", and then a nylon pulling the "tail" back to the leathers, then all you need is a set of shooters and the "bumps" should disappear.

hope that helped.

yea then do what i told you. or you could just check my tutorial on lax store, or look at the one on here from Kryptic.

neither one of them have the "bump" you speak of, i think it kind of just goes away as you continue to string the pocket.

If you only want to loop the leather through one of its slots, that's fine. I've done it that way for years w/o any problems. A lot of factory-strung pockets come w/ their leathers attached that way too.

that "bump" actually helps lip problems somewhat

i do the way kryptic does because if my leathers bust in that hole then i still have the other one and can just cut the end and slide the leather through the other one for a quick fix

hope everyone gets that
