Orienteering Pin Punches with strings

Manual punching is the way orienteering has always worked when you don't want timing chips. Each punch has its own pin pattern, so a mark on the card proves the runner found that control. Choose from four sets of punch markers. Each set gives you a distinct group of patterns, so you can run four courses side by side, or split a big group across parallel loops, without two controls ever leaving the same mark. Every punch comes on a string, ready to tie straight onto a flag, a stand, a fence, or a tree. Good for: - School events, where you want everyone moving without handing out SI cards - Small club events and training nights - Permanent courses and school ground courses - A backup set for when the electronics let you down Why manual still earns its place: no batteries, no downloads, no unit to lose. Hand out control cards, send them off, and check the patterns at the finish. Setup takes minutes, and the kit lasts for years. Pair it with control flags and stands for a complete low-cost event kit.
