About Wireless Sports Fencing Equipment

Hitmate was started in 2002 to bring a breath of fresh air into the world of  sports fencing. There's nothing wrong with tried and tested fencing equipment, of course, yet every other sport has benefited from technical advances over the past ten, twenty or thirty years, so why not fencing too?

Ray Malcomber is a keen epee  and foil fencer and he had the idea of using modern electronics to replace spools and floor cables with radio. Ray has a background in electronic production and engineering and he brought in a colleague Ian Bowden, specialising in embedded electronics and software design.

Ray and Ian have created a range of innovative products for use in training and practice of the noble sport of fencing. Those products are on show here.

The registered office and principal place of business of Hitmate Limited is 19 Riverside Drive, Richmond, Surrey, UK. The Directors are Ray Malcomber and Ian Bowden.
