There's nothing forward of the pod, so how do you rig the string to pull the pod forward?

If I get the chance, I'll try to see if I can find my Nymph R/G (assuming I still have it in my stash somewhere), but I do recall the slide pod was held in place by a thread (had to use a needle to "tie" the thread to keep the slide pod in launch position), then right before launch the rubber band or elastic band was stretched into place that will pull the slide pod in correct position after the ejection charge burns the thread. The model is very reliable.
