You can use the shepherds hook that came with the kit, but you must first cut off the coil spring that is at the end of it. It will then look similar to the one in the catalogue. Or you can go to the hardware store and buy a couple of c-rings. They are much easier. Just snap them on.mike said:thanks for the info.the shepherd hook must be semi auto also?the one with my kit looks different then semi auto in gt catalog. thanks again rick
