Re: Advice on Darts
I don't know anything about this really, though I hear Arachnids are a place to start. But I just want to say that this is the coolest groomsman gift ever.

I agree that it's a pretty cool gift, but I can't help but make fun of people who bring their own darts places.
That being said, I've always found Walmart's dart line to serve my needs. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] |

That screams shadiness, "oh, no, let's use my deck - I'll even deal!" Haha. Also, pool cues are generally different - though it is still unacceptable to bring one anywhere but a pool hall, or a regular bar if it's league night. Well, I guess it's the same for darts. |

Re: Advice on Darts
Black widows are among the high end darts, around $129 if you find them at an ebay store. I have a set that are great, but I'm going to be getting some new ones as I'd like a thinner shaft (har har).
Does the groomsman play a lot? You can get a nice set for 50-60 as well as some custom darts for less than $100, although that'd be hard to do as a surprise gift. |

Re: Advice on Darts
Is he a serious dart player? If he is you may need to reconsider or involve him in the selection. There are a million weight, size and style variations. If he just likes to play and would appreciate a decent set of darts, thats cool, but if he has been playing for a long time and takes the game seriously he probably has definite preferences. It's similiar to buying sombody a set of golf clubs or a bowling ball or a pool cue.
