| So my roommates and I just got a dart board and some crappy darts that already broke. I was looking at the store for parts and they have flights in 4 different shapes and shafts in different lengths, some even have spinners on them. Whats the difference between all these options? thanks |

| I played a small bit of darts years ago and I still have no idea what all the different shapes and sizes mean (but I really wasn't all that interested either- it was just an excuse to drink). Some of those club/league types I would see would bring what seemed to be a toolbox with different dart styles in them- so I assume each different setup has some effect on shooting, but maybe if you're right or left-handed makes some difference too? Of course, those guys may just have had more money than brains- I really don't know. |

Hi dedpool
i don't know about the spinners but usualy you sort out what setup suites you best, try diffrent combinations of shaft and flight and see which is the most consistant.
Have fun.

| Every time I look at this topic a company called "National Darts" pops up. Maybe they have some sort of resources for dart info/types? |

Sorry dedpool, basic darts are cheap over here (which makes a change) except for Tungsten or more exotic metals, a lot of people over here use brass darts with plastic shafts and paper flights which you can cut to any shape you like, or make your own.

Darts? Like I told someone who started telling me about paintball: don't even get me thinking about yet-another hobby!

Go buy one of those cheap Marksman pistols and a couple dozen darts to go with it.
Now your talking darts!!!
I have one with an old bristle dart board. @ 20 feet across my rec. room its a blast. Just don't let no drunks play with it ,they like to shoot everything but the dart board.
Been there Done that!!!
