The Bohn Epee Trainer Basic is a training tool for epee fencers.  This version is simple and easy to use. It beeps and lights when a valid FIE Timing compliant hit is made. If you make a second hit, the color of the light will represent the time duration between the first hit and the second hit. It only weighs 28 grams! This is about the same weight as a typical epee connector. It will not change the balance of your epee.

Speed Indication

The trainer will illuminate with a color representing the time between two hits.   

Time resolution is 2 tenths of a second.  Green means a time duration of 2 tenths of a second or less between events.  A flickering green light indicates its between 2 tenths of a second to 4 tenths of a second.   A Yellow indicates a time between 4 tenths of a second and so on.    

An easier way to remember this is that Green is fast, yellow is medium and red is slow.  If the color flickers it means it is in the slower half of that color.  

Power and Stand by

The unit can operate continuously for about 5 hours.  The unit will go on standby if no activity is detected for about 5 minutes.   On standby, the battery will last up to 1 month.
