To darters, the 1970s was a time of explosive growth for darts. Promoters organized new leagues, publicized regional and national tournaments, and heavily marketed new darts products.
The decade was also a period of relative peace and prosperity for most of the Western world, after the end of the Vietnam War. That prosperity meant that people could spend more time on leisure activities, and sports & recreations of all types built large followings, including darts.
Much of the new interest could be attributed to the development of darts made from ultra-dense tungsten, along with the darts industry that developed to make and market the new darts.
In the 1970's, there was some production of "tungsten darts", but they were often made of a much softer blend of copper & tungsten, a fairly common industrial material at the time.
