Dartboard Maintenance FAQs
How do steel tips affect dart board care?
Good dart board care includes your darts, because steel points kept in shape help prevent bounce-outs and extend the life of the board. The sharpening stone on this page keeps points tuned. Aim for sharp but not razor-sharp, since a slightly rounded point pushes sisal fibers apart while an over-sharpened point cuts them. See our dartboard maintenance guide for more.
Should I get a lighted throw line or a stick-on throw line marker?
A lighted throw line mounts to the wall and runs on batteries, so you can adjust and reposition it without new adhesive. The stick-on throw line marker peels and sticks directly to the floor, with a printed scale that helps you plant your feet the same way each throw. Both work for steel tip and soft tip play, so pick the one that suits your floor and wall setup.
