Title: Soft and metal tip dart board
Post by: squirrellydw on May 08, 2006, 05:52:37 pm

Has anyone used one of these, looks pretty cool.  You can use both soft and steel tip darts.  The only thing I noticed is that its not regulation size, a little smaller.  Anything else out there like this??

They're crap. I've had 3 of them, and all have exhibited scoring problems (dead sections).
I finally stopped swapping them when I exhausted the supply at the place I got them. Its a shame, because it has some great games built into it.

I'm eventually going to replace it with a regular bristle board. I really liked the idea of being able to use real darts, it just doesn't work.
