I am thinking of trying them in that weight Mike, have you got the dimensions for them, I like the look of them for sure, dont know if they will suit me but when ya have an itch to try something, it has to be scratched Very Happy

According to DC the dimensions are:

Length - 38.10 mm
Width - 7.80 mm
Narrowest Point - 6.10 mm
Widest Point - 7.80 mm

I put some longer Cosmo stems on them - the 31mm ones - so they are basically at my normal total length. I'm going to try some shorter stems over the weekend though and see how they fly.

Cheers Mike, I think I will get a set at some point, length is a touch short to my ideal but I fancy giving them ago Very Happy

This makes no 189 for the year. My original target was 200 which I increased to 250 - I just increased that as well so my target for the year is now 400 lol

I got them at Darts Corner in the sale, but as they aren't allowed to ship Target darts to the US then Pure Darts also do them as do A180 (PD are cheaper but don't seem to have the 24g version):

Couldn't find these beauties in the Target 2013 catalogue. Are these being discontinued? If so, too bad, as these are great darts.

Its possible Mark, Target to me seem to quickly relegate ranges more than other brands, dont know why they do that really.

Yeah I noticed that too. The nearest to them is one of their perfect storm darts from what I can see.

well I sent a message on twitter and asked if the model was discontinued but got no reply.

Ok finally got a reply from Target on Twitter, the Silica Apollos are discontinued, so get some now if you want them!

Target once again IMO just the best darts maker period.

Since I've been using the Ogre II's I'm torn between Target and Monster as the best darts maker. Target are great (excluding the new Carrera's lol), but these Japanese know how to make a good arrow as well.
