How Much Tungsten in the Darts?

Tungsten darts come in many different varieties and percentages.  You will see the most common being 70%, which usually means 70% tungsten, 30% nickel.  In older sets tungsten was sometimes mixed with copper; however those are very unusual to find anymore.  However, you can find darts with a trace of tungsten up to about 98% tungsten in the more expensive sets.  Remember the more tungsten you buy, the darts will hold up better, last longer, and be thinner, which will help your shooting.  

50-70% Tungsten - will usually cost less than $40 and will be sold at larger chain stores and sporting goods stores.  You really have to watch out for cheaper, mass produced imports in this category.  These will be very common, but not the best darts for the long haul.

80% Tungsten – will usually cost $20-$50 and I would consider these the most common darts sold to league players.  Many of the players in our lower conferences (newer, inexperienced, shooters) use these darts.  You can find these online, vendors at dart tournaments, and occasionally at a sporting goods store with a larger selection of dart supplies.

90% Tungsten – will usually cost $50-$100 and can be found online from numerous retailers.  These darts are most common with guys in the league that I would consider regulars.  They have worked on their game some and have slipped into a pretty consistent way of shooting.  There are numerous manufacturers to choose from with a wide variety of models, this is where an individuals feel will come into play.  You really need to pick a few of these up and see what is the most comfortable for you.

95-98% Tungsten – will usually cost more than $100 to purchase, not running more than $200 on a consistent basis.  These darts will be extremely thin and if you have real potential for developing your game into an elite shooter I recommend these.  When I say elite shooter, which means local for your area also, not just the professionals.  If I could find the time to shoot every night to really work on my game, then I would definitely consider investing in these darts, because they will really help with groupings of the darts.

Depending on your level of interests in darts, there is a large variety of tungsten darts to purchase, remember to read the packaging carefully to find out exactly the amount of tungsten you are getting for your money.
