WHAT TYPE OF DARTS DO AMERICAN DARTS USE?
(A.) American Wood Dartboards use primarily what are called wood shaft turkey feather darts. These darts are different from any other darts in that the tips are pointed and not blunt as in English. The pointed tips allow the darts to “stick” to the wood surface more easily. Blunt tip darts may work but will drastically reduce the life of the American Dartboard. The wood shaft darts add to the character of the complete American Dart experience since they have been used since the beginning. (Q.) WHY IS AMERICAN GAME OF DARTS NOT AS WELL KNOWN AS ENGLISH? (A.) Most American Dartboard manufacturers up to this point have been mostly small operations literally hand crafting each dartboard. That left them little time to try to expose this product nationally. The greatest concentration until now has been in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, upper Maryland and lower New York. A spin-off of the Philadelphia dartboard can be found in the Albany, New York area as well. Dart Shark darts dartboard
