Australian Company ‘EnPointe’ Wireless System.
Australia has a small (compared to world wide Fencing powerhouses) but dedicated Fencing Community.
Emerging out of Melbourne “EnPointe” has created and Manufactured an alternative to ground wired and expensive European Scoring Boxes.

Wireless will eventually overtake traditional ground or wired systems, and in a world where light weight, tech savvy systems are easy to use and require a small storage area, Fencing Clubs will be gravitating towards EnPointe Wireless Systems, that are Revolutionary-Practical-Affordable.

Here’s a few other ideas for target practice.


Using a ladder is a good “back” for the dummy and allows manoeuvrability, indoors a coatrack is handy too.
Can use different ideas and works for alternate target practice too ie Epee.

Having had a go at making a dummy, heres a few ideas for creating your own target setup at home.
Foil Stand for adjusting weapon height and position etc.

Jacket Stand, with a coathanger for the jackets and stuffed with pillows for bulking up
.
Finished Target, with Bungy Cord wrapped around post for stability.
