Nowadays, most manufacturers are selling their products in a set or package. That is why some boards are sold with free darts. Darts can be different because of their manufacturers. It also depends on what the player prefers. There are four major parts in a dart. These are the flight, shaft, barrel, and tip. The tip of the dart is the part that allows it to stick to the board. It is also the part that impales the board. The barrel is the part where the player holds the dart before throwing. The dart flight and the shaft are essential components that allow the dart to travel from the player’s hand towards the board. Tipped darts sometimes have the barrel, shaft, and flight in one piece.
