FAQs
What does the 90% tungsten rating mean?
The 90% rating indicates the percentage of tungsten in the alloy. A higher percentage allows for a slimmer, denser barrel compared to brass or lower-tungsten alternatives.
Can I use any point with these darts?
The switch point system is designed for specific compatibility. Ensure you purchase points intended for use with Red Dragon Switch Point systems.
Are these darts suitable for beginners?
Yes, the parallel barrel design is very forgiving and helps beginners develop a consistent grip and release pattern.
How often should I change my points?
Points should be changed if they become blunted, hooked, or show signs of structural fatigue, or if you prefer a different grip texture or length.
Is the barrel weight customizable?
The barrel weight is fixed based on the manufacturer's model. However, you can alter the total weight of the dart slightly by using different stems and flights.
Troubleshooting
Dart point feels loose or wobbly
Use a dart point replacement tool to ensure the point is fully tightened and properly seated within the switch point housing.
Dart is deflecting off other darts in the board
Check that your flight setup is streamlined and ensure the dart is consistent in its release; the slim profile is designed to minimize this, so increased deflection may indicate a change in throw angle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your darts, ensure the points are firmly seated using a standard dart point tool. The switch point system is compatible with various aftermarket points, but it is recommended to use points compatible with the Red Dragon specifications for the most secure fit. To care for your darts, wipe the barrels down with a lint-free cloth after every session to remove skin oils and debris, which can affect your grip. Store your darts in a dedicated case to prevent the barrels and points from becoming damaged or dulled during transport. Regularly inspect the threads on the switch point mechanism to ensure they remain free of metallic debris.
