Figured we'd gotten the shock cord question answered. Any opinions on optimal length of shroud lines? I have been using twice diameter of chute. (actually, since I cut 4 lines for my 8 hole chute, each line goes to two holes, so it is really 4X diameter of chute, but counting each line individually (chute to snap swivel) it is 2X diameter.
Also any preferences of 6 sided versus 8 sided chutes (I'm talking low power here)? I just use 8 cuz it is easier to fold and cut (fold in half, fold in half, fold in half, and cut.)
Most of my chutes are cut out of shopping bags (Hobby Lobby, Gander Mountain, Target. Walmart bags are too flimsy and ugly colored.)
