    Alot of my traps are like that, but actually when the jaws are not laying all the way down it makes for a faster SNAP! Infact I purposely leave mine halfway up, when I am trappin coyotes cause yotes tend to have quick reflexes, and so the further up, the quicker the SNAP! So it actually is not really a bad thing.

    Actually it does not make a difference whether its not all the way down.
