FAQs
How do I change the Swiss Point on my Bolide 05 SP darts?
Use the dedicated Target Swiss Point (SP) tool. Insert the tool into the point, unscrew the old point, and screw in the new point securely. The tool ensures proper alignment and tightening.
Are the Swiss Points compatible with other dart brands?
No, the Target Swiss Points are exclusively compatible with Target Darts Swiss Point barrels.
What is the main advantage of the sandblasted coating?
The hand-sandblasted coating provides an enhanced, tactile grip and feel, giving players more control and confidence during their throw.
Can I use my own shafts and flights with these darts?
Yes, the barrels are designed to accept standard dart shafts. While the included Pro Grip shafts and exclusive flights are optimized, you can use your preferred components.
How should I clean my Bolide darts?
Gently wipe the barrels with a soft, dry cloth after use. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish.
What does '5-barrel designs' refer to in the description?
It indicates that the Bolide range includes multiple barrel shapes (5 different designs) to cater to a wide array of player grips and preferences.
Troubleshooting
Dart feels unbalanced
Ensure the Swiss Point is securely tightened. If using different components (shafts, flights), try returning to the original setup to isolate the issue.
Swiss Point will not unscrew or screw in
Ensure you are using the correct Swiss Point tool and that it is properly seated. Check for any debris in the threading and ensure the point is aligned correctly before screwing.
Shaft is loose
Ensure the shaft is screwed in tightly. If the threading on the shaft or barrel is damaged, a replacement shaft may be needed.
Flight detaches during throw
Check the connection between the flight and the shaft. Some flights may require 'dimpling' or using flight protectors to ensure a secure fit.
