I have, currently, 4 sets of steel tip and one set of soft tip darts. I am actually awaiting a package from Larry and Sharon Butler with a set of the Dynasty Prem. Larry Butler Eagle soft tip darts in black as payment for a little help with the New World Dart Series they are running. But I will post pics of each with a description following

My 25g Colin Lloyd Pro Stone Black darts by Target, with Cosmo Duraluminum Spinner Short Shafts, absolutely love the shafts, there is almost no movement or rattle and I have been using them for months now

My 24g generic Purist Phase 2, I am not sure what brand they are but I traded a set of front loaded McCoys for them. My first two throws with these were 100 and 140, and my buddy's first two throws with the McCoys were back to back 140s, so we just traded them right then and there. The set up on them is black trident, black slik sticks ( I have since put the Sigma Slik Sticks on them) and black Unicorn DXM Super Kite flights (those are the fastest flights I have ever thrown, took a little getting used to)

These are my newest set, just got them in on Saturday. 25g Raymond van Barneveld Machina darts by Unicorn, they have Black Kite Fit Flights and the clear gear locked short shafts. I have had them three days now and love them, probably won't be putting them down anytime soon. I was using the Barneveld Phase 2A for a while but just did not care much for the gold stripe in the middle, found these on ebay, new for $25 including shipping and went ahead and got them, traded the 2As for the next set I am going to post

Thanks for sharing Derek! I look forward to seeing your new darts from Larry and Sharon too!

Are they not Unicorn Taylor Purists?
If not then they could be these from Pure Darts:

These are my mystery darts, if anyone knows what they are let me know. I traded my Barneveld 2As for these simply because I liked the way these threw and he liked the way they threw. Not sure if either of us ripped the other off, and neither of us really care. The set up on them is Cosmo Fit Flight Air Black Kites and short gear locked shafts.

These are my 16g Soft tip Purists, the guy I bought them from said they were a handmade sample by Unicorn to be tested before mass production of the Purist line. Not 100% sure I believe that (though it would be extremely cool if that is true), but I only gave around $10 for them so, if not who cares. They have the Unicorn Flights and Slik Stick shafts that it was packaged with, because I have never thrown them (no soft tip boards around here). Also the case they are sitting on is an old cigar box that I turned in to a dart case.

This is the sticker on the back of the package of those soft tips above, again not sure this is authentic, but if it is that's pretty sweet

This is the inside of the cigar box dart case I made, it holds 4 sets of assembled darts, box of chalk, two bags of rosin, a tube for backup shafts and pockets for back up flights( which are unnecessary now that I have Fit Flights, working on an idea for a new box to incorporate a way to hold back ups of those in it since they don't fold to fit into a pocket). Also, something that I don't need now but loved when I used my old DXM and Amazon flights, I took a few little blocks of wood and cut Xs into them at 90 degree angles and glued them in the box so that I could have my back up set of flights already opened up if I needed to change one in the middle of a match. It was great not having to constantly stand there between throws trying to get a new set of flights to open all the way. If you are interested in something like this, by the way, I make them for people in the league all the time and would be glad to make one for you. Just let me know

And, finally(for now at least), for anyone with any questions as to the durability of Fit Flights, this picture is of a set that I have been using for over a month now, and I throw for 6 hours a night two nights a week practicing with a buddy, one league night, and two nights of blind draws a week( that's my routine, plus the occasional throwing at home and now I am signing up for dartsproleague.com). As you can see they have stood up just fine. The one in the middle has only been on there for one day. Some drunk bastard (possibly me...) stepped on one of my darts that had rolled off a table. Broke a shaft and flight, but the other two show their durability I think

Those mystery darts you have look very much like a custom set I sold on Ebay not long ago.

Regarding the Cosmos, I think its a little hit and miss, I have had some last a long time and some get ripped in the first hour, but I like the a lot.

Very nice collection.

I tried to find out about the soft tips for you.

Didn't have much luck. Still pretty cool though.

Grip & I couldn't find them in the catalog. Might be a rare set?

You could always try sending a pic of them to Unicorn, Ed Lowy may be able to help.

Thanks, I am looking forward to the Larry Butler darts, I like them a lot, but they were always a little too pricey for me. I threw with one set of darts for 3 years, the Phil Taylor Silver Stars, then a friend broke a point off one and I haven't been able to quit buying darts since.

I love what you have done with the cigar box. Nothing like a little innovation. You even have a spot for your spare flights.

@ Silver Saber, that would be the rosin and chalk, nothing crazy happening over here.....



@ Jimbo, thanks I really appreciate it, my dog chewed up my old metroline case and I happened to see old cigar boxes at the cigar shop in town, and they were selling them for $5, between that, some scrap wood to make the flight holders, and the inserts to hold the darts I was able to make a box for myself that held 4 full sets for less than the cost of a cheap little Unicorn or even one80 midi wallet. I have since found a place online I can buy unfinished dart boxes and now I custom design them for some people around town, usually as presents, sometimes for a little extra cash

Luckily for you Silver Saber, if you have a paypal account and some ideas for one, I could do build you one for pretty cheap. If you are interested let me know.

The collection has expanded even more, I have added these soft tips. 18 gram, Target Colin Lloyd Pro Stones. They are fitted with L Style Hard Lip Points for practice on bristle, and have Phase 5 Titanium Slik Stik shafts with DXM flights

And my new loves, a set of the front loaded Unicorn T90s. They are 22 grams, with Cosmo short carbon shaft and Fit Flight Air slim flights (though thinking of changing those to the super kites). I went to the Choo Choo Classic in Chattanooga last weekend and was not happy with the way I had been throwing (been in a slump for a couple weeks) so I decided to buy something different, since none of my other sets of darts were front loaded. I bought these and later that day got top 8 out of somewhere between 64 and 100 in singles cricket. So I decided I should probably keep them

This was me breaking them in within an hour or so of buying them and putting on slim flights

Nice new additions there Derek and some top shooting as well.

I always love the first few hours of throwing with new darts. You seem to hit so much in that time.

Nice Derek.

Feel free to add the soft tips over in the soft tip section as well.

Trying to expand that area.

Cheers.
