Thanks Ade!
Are you sure? have you seen that?
I'm puzzled - if they are socketed, then is how is the metal reinforcement attached to the shaft?
I was thinking they were like the ones from Len Morgan: the metal from the head is going past the weight deep into the wooden shaft. The shafts of the Deepeeka dart are even heavier and clearly show metal going deep into the shaft, deeper even than the LM ones. I have a hard time believing they are socketed! hock:
Quote:BTW, The Deepeeka ones are socketed rather than tanged if that makes any difference?!. The socket is beneath the lead weight. I think the LM ones are tanged.
