Mine are at the tarp end of the guylines, that's where they were when one of my stakes got tossed over the tarp. It doesn't seem to make much of a difference whether you have the shock cord at the tarp end or the stake end, it will still toss the stake pretty far and could still rip your tarp. Just buy good stakes and put them in the ground correctly and you should be good to go. YMMV, my .02.
