When the tube first starts to swing on yours, it seems to go slow, maybe
slowed by the chain. It has to be free of any hindrances or resistance.


What is the chain for? I missed something here.


The chain on mine helps it re-set. As Steve observes, it also keeps
it from dumping quickly. [but I did get another squirrel this
afternoon]

You can't see it well in either picture-- but it is a little better in
this one.
