Shop Shot Steel Tip Darts
Shot steel tip darts are made for sisal boards and traditional match play. You’ll find a mix of compact and longer barrel profiles, plus different grip stylesring grip, axial cuts, milled sections, and multi-zone designsso you can match your dart to how you actually hold it. Many sets use high-density tungsten (commonly 80–95%) to keep the barrel slimmer for tighter groupings and cleaner trebles.
Popular Shot ranges to explore
- Celt – detailed barrels with distinctive grip patterning and strong “heritage” styling.
- Roman Empire – premium finishes and refined grip zones for consistent finger placement.
- Viking – bold cuts and confident traction, often with defined reference points.
- Birds of Prey – great-value tungsten options with clean, usable grips.
- Pro / Player Series – tour-style builds inspired by (or built with) pro player preferences.
Shop Shot Soft Tip Darts
Shot soft tip darts are designed for electronic dartboards, with barrels engineered to keep the same “proper dart” feel while using plastic tips. If you play online matches, in pubs with soft tip boards, or you just prefer the slightly lighter, faster rhythm of soft tip, you can still get Shot’s signature grip work, themed ranges, and tungsten builds in soft tip formats.
Why choose soft tip?
- Electronic board friendly – built for softer landings and automatic scoring systems.
- Great for practice volume – ideal if your setup is a home e-board or a club board.
- Same barrel engineering – many Shot ranges offer both steel tip and soft tip versions, so you can keep a consistent feel across formats.
How to Choose the Right Shot Darts
1) Pick your tip type
Steel tip for sisal boards and traditional play. Soft tip for electronic boards. If you play both, consider choosing a Shot range that offers both versions so your grip and barrel profile stay familiar.
2) Choose your barrel shape
- Straight barrels – consistent grip along the length; great for repeatable finger placement.
- Torpedo / front-weighted – helps some players stabilise the front of the dart and reduce wobble.
- Tapered / sculpted – useful if you like a natural “lock-in” point for your fingertips.
3) Match the grip to your throw
Shot darts often feature defined grip “zones” so you can find a reliable reference point. If you tend to adjust your fingers mid-throw, look for multi-zone grips with clear edges. If you prefer a smoother release, go for subtler ring patterns or lighter cuts.
Why Buy Shot Darts?
- Distinctive design – themed ranges that stand out without sacrificing performance.
- Engineered grip – practical cuts and reference points to support consistency.
- Options for every player – from great-value tungsten sets to premium pro-level builds.
