problem with snares

[tony d 0]

morning guys

just been out to check my snares that i set up yesterday evening i've had a few but i am finding that when the snares have been used i can no longer re-tension them as they tend to stay in an almost perfect circle and will not spring back like they do when you've just made them. so any ideas guys please? do you think i've spun them too tight or to loose when i made them or am i just doing something wrong? thanks in advance

Try tension'ing them into more of a pear shape, this way it will cover all ov the run. try taking the wire off the tealer and pulling it tight then re-attach, ive just done that and its worked perfect. Good luck
