[quote=Purple Fencer;658119]The average epee hit is 3 kilos...so setting your point just a hair above 750 is a waste of time and effort.QUOTE]


Having just 1 easy(ier) touch in a bout is worth it... sure as hell makes a difference in a 14v14 situation.

This means that the contact spring must be set to short those two contacts together somewhere in that last 0.5 mm. Bearing in mind that shims also have tolerances associated with them (+/- 0.05 mm)
Is that the correct tolerance? Rule number please.
