If I was making traps like moonhunts I'd make them with a door that closes at a 45 degree angle with a spring so that is effectively self resetting like the '6' shaped netting trap.

The door on mine opens in but wont open out, i made it slightly bigger than the door hole, it hangs virtically with some springs from under the couch across the face so when it opens in they tighten making it want to spring back shut, you can play with the tension a bit, mine shuts reas quick but not over the top pressure
