Review on Unicorn Sigma Super Pro Carbon Steel Tip Darts by Escalade Sports by Chris Sanders

Bought and received the kit about two days ago. The darts are really good and look like sci-fi guns. But seriously, they're well balanced and fly through the air with a sense of precision. I have found that pear shaped darts work slightly better for me than the ones that come with darts. But the darts are very fragile: in two days of use, three carbon rods that came with the darts broke, as well as two spare rods. set I bought. I can't fault the design of the darts but the poor choice/quality of material used. In addition, the dart tip came out of the carbon nose cone on 4 of the 6 included nose tips! Whilst the problem is easily solved by putting the tips back on with some glue this is just unacceptable in my opinion and very disappointing for Unicorn due to the poor workmanship. In short, you get a good barrel for the price. However, I would not recommend buying it due to the poor finish/materials of the cones and shafts. NOTE 1: Screwing and unscrewing the stem and nose cones produces carbon dust, which is highly toxic! Personally, I'm very careful not to inhale it. This should be stated somewhere on the product packaging. NOTE 2: Threads on carbon nose cones simply wear out on impact because the tolerance (between barrel threads and nose threads) is too tight. The spout simply detaches from the darts and will not screw back on. Unicorn didn't think through the carbon materials and/or chose an inferior composite material that is too loose for the intended use. This is a design flaw. NOTE 3: I'm running out of stars to remove. One of the nose cones split in half (after the arrow bounced off the board). Either way, stay away from carbon and redesign these darts with titanium tips and shafts.
