They won't stay on the cable after a catch so you'll likely get a ticket if the warden sees it after a catch,

Snare One has them.

Consider buying PA compliant CR's next time and save yourself the headache.

I believe I got mine from Newt Sterling at Snare One last time.

If theres a max loop limit, marking the cable does nothing for you.

Lugnut, I really think now that I have one in front of me, I can consider making them myself! I just couldn’t wrap my mind around how they actually work.

Good for you smash.

I don't use them often enough to make it worth my while building them. I like the convenience of ordering PA compliant ones.

Maybe I'll buy my next CR's from you.

Ha! I ain’t tried them yet but I figured I would get them set up.
I need to think about stuff an awful lot before I put it into practice. Don’t seem to be able to grasp new ideas as quickly

My problem specifically is that the CR is already assembled and I had to figure out how to put a max opening stop on without cutting off the existing bottom stop and swivel and threading a new stop on. But that ended up being the most simple thing to do for me….as I didn’t have extra wire and the split shot idea could prove a problem if they came off.
It’s okay everyone, perhaps I didn’t explain it well enough
Thank you all for your help!

Yes. 38 inches down the cable or 12 inches in diameter.

A nice fella on here sold me some.
I’d have to look back in my mailbox to see who it was. Said the lock was PA approved.

We have to have a deer stop and a max loop stop. From what I read on the course

I have a headache ha ha ha ha

Oh, so there was some rocket science involved after all. 

I know nothing about snares, but if the goal is just to make it obvious it cannot be opened more than 12 inches, why not just put a wire rope clamp on it as a stop?
sample

less than $1, installs in 10 seconds, adjustable, and if you can take it off and reuse it later if you want.

Nah, ElChucko is just in the mood.

I’ve NEVER used that excuse and wouldn’t want to ,Yukon!!!

Genius!!!

support wire is a nonfactor for entanglement.

Takes all of 20 seconds to take the end of a piece of 16/14/11 gauge wire, bend it over into a C with a pair of needle nose pliers, cut the C off the wire and crimp the C onto the snare. Plus it would not nearly be as heavy, bulky and shiny as a cable clamp..

For your convenience smash just make them or order them to your states requirements. One and done. After a catch save the parts and have purchased parts to build more. Snare building is cheap especially if you already have the parts..
