Review on Viper Framed Dartboard Backboard Mahogany by Douglas First

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Must be! - Shields

Update: I've read some other reviews about their darts falling out all the time. I don't see how it happens. Either the darts you use are cheap, you need to sharpen the tip, or you need to learn how to throw a dart better. I had maybe two arrows that hit and missed the shield. I've been visited a few times by friends who were way better than me and when they hit the shield the arrows stuck right in them. Playing with my fiancé or my mother is a different story though. They hit the shield and fell out. This is how they 100% throw the dart. You throw it, you arch it, or you just don't have any spin. Sometimes they don't throw it hard enough. If you barely throw it, it won't stick. You have to have mediocre form and power behind your throw or it obviously won't work. Yes, it takes practice (you need to see my wall before I get that shield), but like everything else, it's necessary. Don't listen to reviews that don't stick. This is one of the problems I mentioned above. This is a must for every dartboard! It looks very classy with the design and the non-disturbing color is great. I've had no issues with the darts not sticking to it or falling out. It was actually perfectly aligned to rest on the mantelpiece with the bullseye at the correct height of 5ft 8in. Anchors that had no stud were used on one side, while the other side was drilled into a wall stud. As stable as possible and protect the wall.

Pros
  • Sturdy finish
Cons
  • Fine
