    Love your website, You offer a lot of support and your prices are reasonable. It was a pleasure meeting you at Indian Rock in October 2015. I will probably purchase more darts in the future. I may try your kits after watching your video. This is fun!
    Hope you had a Merry Christmas and wishing you a Happy New Year.

      Check You Tube for the video. If it isn’t there, we will locate it. We haven’t gone to Baltimore recently.

    i think a counterweight on the throwing stick further increases speed
