What do you look at when buying a dart nylon shaft?

Eagle Claw Shaft Inbetween Bone White with ring. Eagle Claw shafts are manufactured from tough and durable nylon material with a 2BA thread. The deep cut in the shaft ensures your flight can be pushed well down into the slot which means a greater contact surface. Shafts are fitted with an additional ring to ensure a tight fit between flight and shaft during play and feature Eagle Claw™ icon. Shot Darts Eagle Claw shafts are sold in sets of 3 and are available in 12 striking colors. Measurement: Does not include thread.

When I sell dart shafts they come in different sizes short, inbetween, and med from this company I buy from They are top of the line shafts and will last as long as you take care of them they have a ring to hold the flight on better to the shaft as shafts are selling like this to help the customer out in the long run also so they dont have to buy rings separately. I have found these shafts hold up very well when drop on floor and when hit buy another dart. The price range they are a little bet pricy but the lasting power will make up for that!  You can come into the shop and give the sizes a try to see what you need.  metrodarts.com

How do you buy that dart that you will play with?

First let us look at what  will  a dart consist of ,  the dart point , the dart barrel, shaft, and the flight these components will be a big part of what and how the dart flies . The dart point comes in many links from short to long, the points might be black or silver in color and they might have designs in the point for feel for those who lay the finger or fingers on the point before a shot for grip.Next we move to the barrel this I feel is the most important part of the dart . The barrel is made of different  materials brass, tungsten, nickel and silver. The barrel can be many different colors by what the dart is made of and the paint that might be used. The dart length can make or break a dart it has to be true because it has to balance or the flight of the dart will vary. Lastly you have to have a dart that feels good in your hand thats were rings, grooves, and designs in the barrel might make all the difference.
There is one more thing the weight of the dart. The dart  barrel has to weight just right or you might get tired or the flight of the dart will change because of how hard you throw or how soft you throw. There is a grip chart that you can feel the smoothness or the rigid feel of the barrel that is in your head! Let move on to the shaft there are plastic , nylon, aluminum, titanium ,steel  shafts each has different weights consistencies so you have to try them all to see what works for you each also has different staying powers that is which one last longer and how it holds up to ware. There is color that comes in to the equation also you can get any color of the rainbow. One last thing you have many lengths to chose from extra short ,short , in between, medium, long each will have a affect on the way the dart moves threw flight in the air. Let us look at the next part which you will be buying the most of and that is the flights. The dart flights come in many colors, and shapes like slim, pear, kite, small standard, and standard.They come in different materials also  from fabric, nylon, plastic and much more you have to choose they each have a different endurance time frame. The cost and the styles of the flight are the last two things that you might look at so choose well. I think this gives  you the basic start to pick a great dart!  Have fun and like I aways say come to Metro Darts where you get to try before you buy!!   metrodarts.com

Metro Darts The Good Years.

How many of you know about Metro Darts?  Metro darts is going on its 20th year it has been serving in many capacities, it started out selling goods out of a briefcase than started having its own leagues In a small town of Dimondale it was a 1,500 foot sq building with a dart shop and leagues that went on four 6 years. The shop started to slow down a little so I open a shop next to my home and that's where I have stayed. The shop has grown and now has a web site just to sell darting goods metrodarts.com. I did forget one thing In those years I started to sell and service many of the bars in and out of michigan totaling 45 in all at my highest point this is one of my setup the nuthouse in lansing . I have put on many dart promotions in and threw the state where I would go to tourneys and do sales also shows and a  like. In the past few years I have added disc golf were I sell all disc golf goods but I also design courses with 11 under my belt five that I have done from start to finish! I designed a course that is handicap accessible in atlanta michigan. In the shop I sell goods from MVP, Prodigy, Discraft , and gateway. Some of the things I have done in the sport is had a day in the park were many young people would come and learn how to play disc golf . I also did a time were i would teach class in the YMCA to young people who are just starting out playing the sport. One of the things I took on was a putting league in the summit for 9 weeks it went well starting at 10 people and having 45  when I finished .

Well I just wanted you to know what and how this Metro Darts got its humble start and hope that it keeps going for a long time!
