How many shafts are included in a set?
This product is for '3 Sets' of shafts, meaning you receive a total of 9 individual shafts, enough for 3 complete darts.
Can I use these shafts with any dart barrel?

Do I need the Pro Grip ring, or can I use standard rings?
The Pro Grip ring is designed to work optimally with these shafts for maximum flight security. While standard rings might fit, the Pro Grip ring is recommended for the best performance.
How durable are these nylon shafts compared to metal shafts?
Nylon shafts like the Pro Grip are generally lighter and can withstand impacts without deforming permanently, though they might be more susceptible to breakage if stepped on directly compared to metal.
Can I paint or customize these shafts?
While possible, painting or applying stickers may affect the grip of the flights or the durability of the shaft. It is generally recommended to use them as they are.
Troubleshooting
Flights are loose or falling out.
Ensure the Target Pro Grip ring is correctly fitted over the base of the flight stem. Also, try inserting the flight stem further into the shaft petals or consider using a flight punch and a stronger flight protector.
Difficulty inserting flights.
Ensure the flight stem is straight. Slightly twist the flight stem as you insert it into the shaft petals. The nib is designed to help, but a gentle approach is key.
Shaft appears bent.
If the shaft is bent, it is recommended to replace it. Bent shafts can affect the flight path of your dart and compromise accuracy.
