Hi Timeout,

 

See if this explanation works:

 

Hold the snare at the end where it is fixed to the tealer with the loop vertical and pointing towards you.

With the other hand starting at the tealer end place your forefinger and index finger under the wire (inside the loop) and your thumb on the top (outside the loop). Press your thumb and fingers together over the wire squeezing it and straitening it as if you were trying to flatten out the loop. Move your fingers along the wire about half an ainch and repeat. Continue right around the loop until you get to the eye. If you could make sense of my instructions there should now be tension in the snare. If not enough repeat the process.

 

Hope this helps

 

All the best

Timeout, You know how well a brand new snare sits up, perfect in every way. That's because the wire is straight. start at one end of the snare and with your first two fingers inside the loop and the thumb on the outside, gently go round the snare trying to remove the curve from it, one end to the other. Don't dent it just enough pressure to straighten it out. It works, good luck.

timeout, look at the drawing i,ve put up and the instructions are there also, its really a very simple process and only takes a few seconds to complete , hold the snare as its shown between the hands , sqeeze the loop inwards and work anti clockwise down round the loop , to your right hand .
