This is the end of the staff. The retention cord is tied to the staff as it would be on conventional staffsling, release cord goes through a small piece of plastic pipe that is ziptied and ducttaped to the end of the staff. It is nothing special, nor it is nice looking but it works and it is reliable. The tape is also used to bring the retention cord in line of the release cord.
Exactly the same in concept to my first captive release sling staff. I find probably the best functioning design so far. In the beginning I also used paracord like you, but switched it out because you can feel the retention cord stretching when you swing the staff around.
Here's a tip: tie a stopper knot on the release cord (which cant go through the tube), so that when you pull on the release cord, it comes to the perfect loading position and no further.
