If you've got all those sticks through the springs of the 330, what the point of the H-stand ??

As you say, no reason to add any blocking. The ratio for direction the catch is made runs right at 50/50. When they smell another beaver, i.e. castor, they are on high alert as they might get into a fight. Since their eyesight is so poor they are very wary. That said, they often don't like a tight spot if they think they might get ambushed by another beaver. So they go around, mark over the castor, then satisfied all is well will turn and take the easiest, shortest route to the big water, which is right into the trap. Castor sets are like a beaver magnet, as they run very hight percentages. Can't beat the Lefler frames. Makes setting a breeze and keeps the trap off the bottom.
