FAQs
What does the 90% tungsten rating mean?
The percentage refers to the purity of the tungsten material. A higher percentage allows for a smaller, denser barrel, which is preferred by professional players for tighter grouping.
Can I use any dart point with these?
These darts are designed for use with compatible switch points. Ensure you purchase points specified for the switch point system.
Are these darts suitable for beginners?
While the quality is excellent, the professional-grade barrel and grip are tailored toward intermediate and advanced players who have developed a consistent throwing technique.
How often should I change my dart points?
Points should be replaced if they become blunt, develop burrs, or show signs of pitting, as these can damage the fibers of the dartboard.
What is the benefit of a torpedo-shaped barrel?
The torpedo shape shifts the weight toward the front of the dart, which helps stabilize the flight and provides a more predictable path for players who grip the dart near the center.
Troubleshooting
Dart points feel loose
Ensure the switch point is fully tightened and seated correctly within the barrel thread.
Point snaps off inside the barrel
Use a specialized broken point removal tool or contact a professional repair service to avoid damaging the barrel threads.
Dart flight is inconsistent
Check that the flights are square and undamaged, and verify that the shaft is not bent.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan of your Recon darts, always ensure you have a soft mat or carpet under your dartboard to prevent damage if a dart bounces out. When using the switch point system, ensure you use the appropriate point-extraction tool to avoid damaging the internal threads of the barrel. To clean the barrels, use a soft-bristled brush to remove any chalk or debris from the grooves, ensuring the grip remains effective. Store your darts in a dedicated case when not in use to prevent barrel-to-barrel contact, which can cause scratches or damage to the precision knurling.
