Another model from the new Shot Darts Kyle Anderson The Original range, these are the Desert Boomer.
Its a straight barrel dart with three different grip zones and it has a lovely orange copper titanium coating and also carries on the theme of the Aboriginal culture with the Track grip representing Kyles path, here is the description from the Shot darts site:
Legendary native animals like the Australian Kangaroo represent unbeatable strength, speed and skill. Designed for The Original Kyle Anderson range, this 80% tungsten precision machined, straight dart set draws inspiration from its totem animal and its vast desert habitat. In the rich ochre colours of the outback, this design represents Kyle’s trailblazing darts journey. To be the first, find the courage to last the distance. Leave your tracks so others may follow.
I did not realize before that what I thought were little milled arrows are meant to be Kangaroo tracks or at least the Aboriginal interpretation of them, so nice to know and again love the them on this range, its done so well with the graphics throughout from packaging to the flights 🙂
As its a straight barrel dart it should work well for any grip style and I would say the grippiest section is the middle but its all around about medium level.
The front has a very subtle scallop so feels nice to hold in the fingers there and there is also a slight scallop on the rear but not entirely sure if that is down to the milled out tracks grip there.
Thickness is just about right for my liking but may be if the barrel was a touch shorter I think it would have been spot on.
Never the less it still felt good to throw and such a nice looking barrel with the coppery ti colour.
The flights are once again very nicely designed with the tracks symbol and what a great name for a dart too! 🙂
I know its 80% tungsten which some may scoff at but really its so well machined and designed its no big deal, price may still be a little more than most would like to pay sadly but that is not the same in all countries, guess it depends where you are and how much import taxes etc are.
Overall the quality is great and its a great all round dart with good looks 🙂
