[QUOTE="JMF, post: 35129, member: 869"] I forgot to mention before but every one of these snares gets attached to an 8' extension. In order for a dispatch spring to be effective, the coyote needs to hit the end of the snare hard to compress the spring. The extra length of the extension allows them to get a good run. Now for the triggers and the reason I use them. With either a coil style spring or in this case a torsion spring the coyote must use its' force and weight to compress the spring. With the triggers on the torsion springs the coyote only needs to pull the snare tight enough to bump the trigger free. When the trigger releases, the spring immediately pulls any slack out of the loop and the coyote no longer has to be pulling to maintain pressure to the loop the spring is doing that for him. Since going to this system I no longer have live coyotes on my line, less than 5%. No more water heads and very little disturbance to the site location, making it easy to just rehang a new snare on the support. In the beginning I showed using 2 end stops instead of just one. The only reason I do this is because I use the triggers. In the past I have had coyotes set the spring so tight that the trigger re-hooked above the stop. These coyotes were plenty dead but it bothered me because it made the spring ineffective. With 2 stops the end of the trigger can't reach anything to re-hook on once it is tripped. [/QUOTE]
