Renewing a rabbit snare

[JackWard 0]

Hi

 

Just wondering, recently after purchasing some rabbit snares from a certain website, i received them, totally kinked, bent etc. I have attempted to re-straighten them but cannot get them to their new form. Has anybody got any methods etc on how to straighten them, they are the brass type snares and this is why they kink so easily.

 

Thanks

try running them backwards and forwards across the top of your leg should come good mate

do a search on retensioning snares on here and there should be a previous thread the search is a wonderful thing

try untwisting them and then retwist, you can use a cordless drill.

Try tensioning them over a bit of wood mate

Pull the snare tight and run your hands up and down to straighten it OR use a piece of wood ash peg or hazel whatever to remove kinks rubbing it along the snares length, then just reshape and give it a bit of tension...

if all that fails, chuck them in the buy, and buy some off woodga
