Review on Arachnid Cricket Pro 800 Electronic Dartboard: Enhanced Durability and Playability with NylonTough Segments, Micro-thin Dividers, and Reduced Bounce-outs by Mark Toth

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent target for darts, suitable for darts

So I did a lot of research before buying and there were so many bad reviews on these boards. After a while I decided to use a well-known brand and I am very happy with the results. This is an amazing board. Lots of fun games to try and up to 8 cricket players, 301 etc. So much fun playing with your friends. Hit detection is pretty good, although sometimes when thrown softly the arrow doesn't realize it's NBD, you just walk up to it and hit it manually. The LED display is easy to read from a distance of 2.50 m. It also shows you what your last 3 darts were thrown, so you can see what you've thrown without having to move closer to get a closer look. Such a cool board. You need that. Cons: darts are excellent quality but blades deteriorate fairly quickly due to a fall and the need to put them back on, plastic blades don't hold up well. I would just book a few extra flights if you make a purchase. The rest of the darts are solid. Actually, my dad bought me some Franklin darts in the Big 5 when he noticed my flights were falling apart. The back of the Franklins that flies on snapped the 2 darts we used in the first two games. The darts supplied with the board are all metal and of excellent quality. We just need more flights.

Pros
  • Darts and accessories
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
