Collection: Darting Gear

The pieces of a dart are the point, the barrel, the shaft and the flight. The barrel is the weighted section you hold, with the shaft and flight behind it and the point in front. The point is steel on steel tip darts and plastic on soft tip darts, and the flight helps the dart land point-first.

Yes, some steel tip dart sets on this page come with a case, from hard-shell cases with lined slots to slim cases and flexible dart wallets. Others ship without one, and Casemaster dart cases are sold here separately, from a compact case for one set of three darts to cases that carry several sets.

No, you don't need a special soft tip dart case. Several Casemaster cases on this page are made to carry either steel tip or soft tip darts, and some have foam inserts designed to hold barrels of any shape. Check the listed dart length too, because some cases take assembled darts up to 6.5 inches long and others up to 7 inches.

Darting equipment for home play starts with a dartboard and matching darts, meaning steel tip darts for a bristle board or soft tip darts for an electronic board. Protect the wall with a cabinet or surround, and add a light to cut shadows on the board. Keep spare flights, shafts and tips on hand to replace parts as they wear.

Steel dart tips are usually a fixed point that you keep in shape rather than replace, so this page carries a sharpening stone and a point shaper to keep those points free of burrs and ready for play. If you want steel points for soft tip darts, the steel converter points sold here turn soft tip darts into steel tip darts.
