Shot - Zen Budo - 80% Tungsten Darts

Zen Budo: a compact powerbomb built for consistency

Part of Shot's Zen range — calm in the hand, impact on the board — the Budo is a short, centre-weighted bomber barrel machined from 80% tungsten at Shot's factory in New Zealand and match weighed to ±0.05g. Because the mass is concentrated right at the balance point, this agile little barrel tends to self-correct in flight and land square on the board, which is exactly why it's such a strong choice for newer players building a repeatable throw. If you're still weighing up your first proper set, our guide to the best darts for beginners is a good place to start.

Grip designed around finger reference

Four square groove cuts on the nose give a fixed reference point for controlled release, a classic wide ring grip runs the barrel, and matching square grooves finish the rear. The push point sits just ahead of centre for a clean, traditional release. Prefer a longer, straighter Zen barrel with a black titanium coat? Step up to the 90% tungsten Zen Kensho.

Short bomber barrel, big presence

At just 36–38mm long and 9mm across, the Budo is one of the shortest, chunkiest barrels in our range — a genuinely different feel from the slim parallel darts most brands lead with, and a smaller footprint that keeps your grouping tight on the board.
