Take Aim With Steel-Tip Darts

While outfitting your game room with a dartboard or preparing for a darts tournament, make sure you have the type of darts that best suit your board. Great for bristle or sisal dartboards, steel-tip darts are made for swift, accurate flight toward the bull's-eye. Steel-tip darts are commonly crafted from a combination of metals, such as nickel, brass and aluminum, with a certain percentage of tungsten in the mix and, as the name suggests, a steel tip. They also feature textured grips that vary in type and number of rings to help you maintain a sure hold on your dart while you throw. Darts vary by weight in grams, so make sure you have the most appropriate weight for your skill level.

Steel Darts And Accessories

In selecting a set of steel darts, consider the extras. If you're a frequent darts player, it's a good idea to keep a few extra flights on hand in case one gets damaged mid-game. Flights aid in accuracy, so it's important you don't lose one during gameplay. Also, they're available with distinct colors and graphics, so you can easily identify your Elkadart steel-tip darts from your opponent's Viper steel-tip darts. Many dart sets come with a case that has room for extra darts and a maintenance tool, so you can safely carry the set from game to game.
