Standard Points

Standard dart points — conventional replacement points, including Harrows Black steel tips and the Shot Jurassic range in T-Rex, Bronto, Hybrid 50/50 and Giga.

Two ways points attach

Every replacement point falls into one of two families, and knowing which you have saves a wasted order. Press-fit points are pushed into a smooth-bored barrel under pressure — traditionally a job for a repointing machine at a shop. Threaded points screw into barrels cut for a system, marked SP, QP or Switch Point, and change in seconds with a small tool.

Fitment varies by product here, so check the individual listing against your barrel before ordering. If your darts came with points already fitted and you've never changed them, press-fit is the likelier answer.

Why change points at all

Point length shifts the balance of the dart forward; grip texture changes how the point holds in sisal and how many bounce-outs you see; and a bent or blunted point quietly ruins consistency long before you notice. Sharpening is maintenance — replacement is an upgrade.

See the threaded systems: Target Swiss Points, Winmau Switch Points, Harrows Quick Points. Or browse by length — 26mm, 30mm, 35mm, 40mm — and all dart points.

Frequently Asked Questions

▶ How do I tell press-fit from threaded?

Threaded barrels are marked with their system — SP, QP or Switch Point — and their points unscrew with a small tool. Press-fit points won't turn at all; removing them needs a repointing machine.

▶ Do longer points help?

They move weight forward and can change the angle your dart sits at, which some players find groups better in the treble bed. It's a genuine variable worth testing, not a guaranteed gain.

▶ What causes bounce-outs?

Usually a point hitting wire, a blunt or over-sharpened tip, or a tired board. Textured points help the tip bite rather than skate; a worn board is worth replacing regardless.

▶ Should I sharpen my points?

Lightly, to remove burrs — a needle-sharp point damages sisal and can pass straight through without holding. Aim for smooth and slightly rounded rather than spiked.
