I see we've got a new thread going here, so I'll post my response from my derail on the other thread here:

Yup, I use a support wire, with the cable angled uphill a bit. The Support wire prevents the snare from pivoting around like a door in the run.
I was more thinking the S-hook would allow the loop to swing too easily like a swingset in the run.

I was probably overthinking it, as I suppose it would probably not swing anymore than with the cable looped back on itself as I do now.
My normal snares have a whammy - that provides a lot of resistance to "swinging" as the cable passing through it cant twist. With the whammy, I can even angle the loop up hill if the run is up hill. The RAM snares hang wherever the cable wants to go.

One other point on this... that extra hardware would probably require a heavier snare support wire. (or heavier than I currently use for Ram snares).
