Here is an overview of this trap.

The heavy weight of the Paiute Deadfall has been replaced with a stick under spring tension. In this photo this is the right-hand diagonal stick.

The spring stick has a mini-spear point carved from the stub of a branch. Thus when the trap is sprung, this will impale the animal, hopefully killing it very quickly.

Here is a close-up photo of the mini-spear point on the spring stick. It is being held up by the diagonal stick of the trigger mechanism.
