Buntings

Just got these, Stephen Bunting 12g. Got them because I was curious to see what a 12g dart is like to throw. They are fun to throw actually, despite them being minuscule. Best I have managed so far is a 140. Here are the darts:

They look tiny!!!

I have a hard time with those darts myself.

They fly very strange. Unlike any other light dart I have.

Baffles my mind really. I have NO idea why they fly the way they do. My dart lands with the flight pointing up quite a bit... kind of like a Wade or Lewis. Normally my darts are dead flat like Deano's. Every single dart I own has the same set up, a medium nylon shaft with a slim flight. They all land pretty much identical. The weight varies from 12 grams (total dart) to 20 grams.

Curious then, maybe its the barrels balance point?

To be honest mate, my first though was, huh, I thought these darts were supposed to have a micro grip??

It really is very slight and almost non existent. I suppose, in the hand you can just about tell that it is there, and if you look very closely you can make it out. I won't be using these on a regular basis but will just be keeping them for s***s and giggles. If anything, I like how thin they are, but they are just too short for me. Maybe with a different setup I could get them to fly better, but I can't be arsed messing about with them.

I will take them along to my game this week and let the lads have a mess about with them though!

It was strange reverting back to my normal darts afterwards, felt like I was throwing bricks at the board. thinking about it though, it was a nice little warm up/training exercise, as my darts went a lot truer afterwards!
