"My darts have been designed to compliment my throw and stance as I throw on tip toes ( hence my nickname "the nutcracker") My darts are made with 97% tungsten and are precision made to my first design.
The ring grip that Shot!/Puma have designed, make the balance of the dart hit the board at the perfect angle and ensure good grouping within the trebles.....and lethal on doubles... Stephen Hardy
Martyn writes; "I have been using my new Puma Shot darts for three months now and I am delighted at the extra confidence the darts have given me. The design and the balance of the dart is second to none and the grip is better than anything I have used in the past. The Puma team have created a perfect dart for me and made the game more enjoyable to play than ever before"....

Some may wonder why but our reasons are simple – a strong base in NZ gives us an edge in new product development and quality control. Quite literally we can lead the way!! This commitment to innovation has continued and next month Puma Darts will release its new Bandit Plus board- this board is an advancement on its flagship board “The Bandit” which revolutionised the Dartboard industry 10 years ago. The key features of this new board are presentation and ease of hanging etc. Puma Darts are also releasing a new global brand – Shot! Darts. In the past Puma Darts have been reliant in many markets on distributors brands due to Puma not being able to be used in some markets. Shot! Darts is aimed at the discerning dart player with the Darts and Dartboards being manufactured only in New Zealand. The range flagship product, is the ability for a customer to customise their own one off set of darts.
