Yes my bow legs are sprung and the top seems to be under tension, but
I'm not sure how much it is meant to be under.
That strip is pushed in, and from the amount of tugging I have to do
to get the top on, there is no way I would describe it as too large.
Are there any other suggestions out there?
Thanks
