Dart Materials

Darts come in a variety of materials, weights and grips. The most common metals used in the production of darts are brass, nickel silver and tungsten. Brass is inexpensive and is perfect for the home recreational player and the occasional pub game. Nickel Silver has the same attributes of brass but is tarnish resistant. Tungsten is extremely dense, three times denser than brass & nickel silver, and is popular because of its weight to size ratio resulting in a heavier weight in a smaller mass. If two barrels, one made of brass and one made of tungsten, the same weight were compared you would see that the tungsten barrel is 3 times smaller than the brass barrel. These important features make tungsten the material of choice for the more serious dart shooter.

Dissecting a Dart

Darts are made up of four major parts: a point, a barrel, a shaft and a flight. The barrels are the main body and come in a variety of shapes, sizes and materials. Flights and shafts are replaceable and the various sizes and shapes help tailor the dart to an individual’s playing style. When a dart is thrown, air resistance and gravity affect the flight pattern. A properly balanced dart will fly true and track to the board with very little wobble.

Scoring Schematic of Dartboards

The two most popular dartboards used to play the game of darts are the ‘bristle dartboard” for steel tip play and the “electronic dartboard” for soft tip play. Both dartboards are divided into pie shaped sections numbered 1 to 20 with the center most section called the bulls-eye. There are two narrow rings traversing the dartboard in a circular pattern. The outer ring counts the number double score and the inner ring counts the number triple score. There are two sections to the bulls-eye; the outer ring is a single bulls-eye and counts as 25 points with the inner bulls-eye counts as a double bull or 50 points.

Bristle Dartboards

Bristle dartboards are made of millions of fibers glued on their end called sisal, a grass like hemp grown in Africa and China. The main characteristic of a bristle dartboard is the “self healing effect”. This happens when a dart lands next to where the previous dart landed, the sisal is parted and closes the original hole. Because of this construction, a bristle dartboard, depending on use, can last a long time particularly in the home recreation room. The outer number ring on the bristle dartboard is removable. This feature helps to prolong the life of the board by allowing one to rotate the dartboard so wear on the most commonly used numbers is even. When rotating always keep the number 20 at the top and over a black section.

Distance of the Throw Line - Soft Tip Dart

The distance for setting up a soft tip dartboard is 8 feet from the face of the dartboard not the wall. In order to do this you first measure the height then drop a plumb line or string from the face edge of the dartboard to the floor then measure back to the front of the throw line. An easier way to measure distance is to have someone hold the tape measure touching the double bulls-eye and stretching diagonally to the floor 9’9 1/2”. Always measure to the front of the toe line as everyone likes to stand on the line itself.
