In foil, though, it's kind of hard to see which touches are on target and which are off target using dry. In fact, most of the weapons are hard to ref with dry fencing. But dry fencing is good to teach beginners. I feel 50/50 about it.
Due to the lack of funds for fencing at the school, we don't have that many electric foils to go around (let alone ones that work and with decent grips), nor lames. Same with epees, and our saber gear (such as it is) is seriously outdated. The beginners all fence dry foil, and its much the same at the club. Mainly dry.
Dry epee'? WTF.
