and those with old style points with a capacitor can charge the capacitor on the elecrtic fence unit before they go ... simply use the capacitor to lead both strands of wire ... when ground is made watch the dance for those who want to try this at home .. hold c connector of capacitor on one lead from fencer ... and the metal body against the other lead let it blip three times ... then hand it to someone else to hold ... when they touch body and connector in their hand .. ZAP please do not let persons with pacemakers or other infirmities try this as it may be dangerous those of you who didnt like the bear pics will llikely find this to be distasteful to try at home yours
