Update: The Alberta Gov't has ordered the closure of certain non essential stores, including Britcan Darts, at this time. We have voluntarily shut down for the last week as a precaution to the spread of this virus, and during that time we have deep cleaned the store. We have not had, and do not have any symptoms and we are both doing well.... We had hoped to open the store again by April 8, but it is now up to the Gov't as to when we can re-open the retail store to the public. If you need dart supplies, we will still be available through our online store, www.britcandarts.com , by phone at 403-235-2748, or via email, [email protected].

Please call, (during regular business hours), if you have any questions We can not allow anyone in the store during this time, but, together, we can make this work. Please be patient, and we will try to be there for you. Thank you Pat & June

How Darts Can Benefit You :) Unlike other games which require more of a physical effort, dart requires a different set of physical and mental skills working in coordination with each other. It’s a challenging game that requires high level of skill, accuracy, and a steady hand. There are many positive health benefits as well, some of which are: -Relieves your stress by allowing to give yourself a break almost anywhere... -Improves hand-eye co-ordination, due to the high amount of accuracy and precision involve - Works well at improving your concentration -Instills a sense of self-control, by letting you be more aware of your body’s position and movements -As you can choose anyone to play it with, it also helps in improving social skills See more

Thank you for being such loyal fan's! Hope to see you soon. Happy Wednesday ! Please like our page as well

Flight - Dart flights come in different shapes and textures. The most common shapes are Standard and Slim while less common shapes include Pear, Vortex, Vector, Kite and more. Flight textures include smooth, nylon, Dimplex, etc. Smaller, smoother flights will allow darts to cut through the air faster with less drag, yet they will be less forgiving to variations in angle of attack. Conversely, larger, more textured flights will make darts fly slower through the air with more ...drag and they will be more forgiving to variations in angle. Generally speaking, smaller flights, like slims, are used with lighter darts and shorter shafts while larger flights are generally used with heavier darts and longer shafts. There are always exceptions to the rule of course and plenty of accomplished darters use long, heavy darts with slim flights or vice-verse. Armed with an understanding of dart anatomy, you can start experimenting with different combinations of point, barrel, shaft and flight, finding the one that best fitsyour playing style and preferences.

Shaft - similar to barrels, dart shafts also come in a variety of materials, lengths and styles. The most common shaft materials are aluminum, plastic, nylon and titanium, aluminum being the most popular. Shaft lengths affect the stability of the dart in flight. Longer shafts may help reduce the effects of crowding, but they can also cause a dart to "fish-tail" in the air, destabilizing an otherwise accurate throw. If your darts "fish-tail" you may want to switch to shorter ...shafts. Specialty shaft styles include those with replaceable tops, adjustable lengths and spinning shafts. Spinning shafts rotate at the flight, allowing incoming darts to slide past without bouncing off other darts or damaging other flights, creating the opportunity for tighter groupings. Occasionally, the fit between shaft and barrel may begin to loosen, causing unnecessary instability in the dart during flight. In this case, shafts can be kept tight in their barrels by putting a rubber o-ring (sometimes called a "dart washer") between the the two to act as a sort of lock-washer.

Barrel - Dart barrels come in a huge variety of styles, sizes, materials and grips. The overall weight of a dart is largely determined by the weight of its barrel. Barrel weights commonly range from 16 to 30 grams, but even heavier and lighter darts are available. Common barrel materials include wood, plastic, brass, nickel-silver and tungsten. Wood barrels are less commonly used and, along with plastic barrels, have taken a back seat to the increasing popularity of brass, n...ickel-silver and tungsten barrels. Brass barrels are durable and inexpensive, though they can be susceptible to corrosion, causing the grips (texture of the barrel) to slowly wear off with time. Nickel-silver barrels are corrosion resistant and harder than brass barrels while being slightly more expensive. Tungsten barrels are generally considered to be the most desirable barrel material. Tungsten is very dense, allowing barrels to be very thin and sleek while still maintaining proper weight. Thinner tungsten barrels create more room for closer dart grouping. Most tungsten barrels will be listed as a percentage of tungsten, many are 80 - 90%. The higher the percentage, the thinner and smaller the barrel can be for a given weight.

Point (or Tip) - Dart points come in plastic (soft tip darts) or steel (steel tip darts) versions. Both steel and soft tip darts can be used on "bristle" dart boards (the boards traditionally used with steel darts), but you should never use steel tip darts on soft tip dart boards as they will cause permanent damage. Some dart points are removable while others are permanently integrated into the barrel. Darts can also have either fixed points or moveable points. Moveable point darts are constructed in a way that allows the points to retract slightly into the barrels upon impact. This slight retraction allows the dart to continue its forward motion when hitting a hard surface, such as the dart board's wire, sliding the point past the wire into the dart board, virtually eliminating bounce-outs.

Modern darts was invented by a carpenter from Lancashire named Brian Gamlin in 1896. However the history goes back much farther. Darts began as a military pastime originating in England during the medieval era in the first couple of decades of the fourteenth century.
