Shot King

I did some research before buying a dartboard to make sure I didn't end up buying a cheap piece of junk that I was just going to have to replace after a few games. I learned right away that sisal fibre or "bristle" boards are better than the old "cork" boards that were common when I was a kid. I noticed that the Viper Shot King was consistently rated as one of the best, but I wasn't sure at first because, compared to some of the other recommended boards, the Viking has a much lower price. But since the reviews were mostly positive, I went ahead and bought one, and I've played almost every day since I hung it on my carport wall about two weeks ago. The first thing I noticed when I opened the box was the weight. This board is packed with lots of fibre that makes for a consistent surface tension. The wire ring with the numbers is movable so that the board can be rotated periodically to get an even wear, while making sure that the 20 is always in the 12 o'clock position like it's supposed to be. To install it, a bracket mounts on the wall -- or like I did, on a 3ft. X 3ft. square piece of plywood to protect the wall from getting holes all over it -- and then a screw goes right in the center of the back of the board to hang from the bracket (so that the board can be rotated). It includes three spacers to make an even gap between the mounting surface and the back of the board. Once the depth of the center screw is adjusted to make sure the board doesn't rotate too loosely, it's ready to go. On the front, the wiring is attached very tightly and evenly to the board, using as few staples as possible. The wire around the single (green) bull has no staples, and the double (red) bull has its own separate metal ring, made to taper to a sharp front edge. The playing surface is smooth, the painted sections are very bright, and they are evenly sized and proportioned. The board I bought came with 2 sets of darts that are fairly well made, but they're a bit too light for players like me who prefer heavier barrels. The shafts, however, are not very well made, so I changed them on the first day, but kept the original red and black flights, which have the Viper name on them. I use those darts for friends who prefer to play with lighter darts, so it's nice to have them. Considering that it is priced at least 20 dollars less than other quality boards this is, without a doubt, one of the best official competition size (18 inch) dart boards you can get. The mounting hardware is made from decent quality materials, and the installation is simple but effective. The ability to rotate the board so that the playing surface wears evenly makes for a longer product life. The playing area is very well crafted, and it is so well assembled that the wiring lines up perfectly with the edge of every section. I'm very happy with my Viper Shot King, and I've recommended it to all my friends. Before buying it, it had been years since I played darts, and having it now has made me rediscover the game. I had forgotten how much fun it is!

***Update: the seller sent me some extra darts, so I’m changing from 4 to 5 stars. Excellent customer service and a fun family game! This dartboard has been a huge hit with my family! The board itself is sturdy and well-made, and it’s become a go-to activity for everyone. Unfortunately, one of the darts was broken right out of the box, which was a bit disappointing. That said, it hasn’t stopped us from having a great time. What We Loved: • Sturdy and High Quality: The board feels durable, and the bullseye and wire setup are spot-on. • Family Fun: It’s easy to set up, and we’ve been having a blast playing together—it’s brought out our competitive sides! What Could Be Better: • One of the included darts was broken when we opened the package. It’s not a dealbreaker, but a bit of a letdown for something brand new. Overall, the dartboard itself is excellent and has provided hours of fun for my family. We’ll likely get some new darts soon to keep the games going!

Comes with all the relevant parts. High quality, worth the price

This dartboard is a solid value for the price. Setup was easy, it looks good on the wall, and it’s been used several times already without any obvious wear or issues. The board feels well made and holds darts nicely, with no excessive bounce-outs so far. For casual play or a home setup, it’s hard to complain. It’s been holding up well through multiple games, and everything feels sturdy enough for regular use. That said, durability over the long term is still the big question, which is why I’m giving it four stars instead of five for now. If it continues to hold up after months of use, this could easily be a five-star board. As it stands, it’s a great dartboard for the money and a solid choice if you’re looking for something reliable without overspending

Excellent quality and easy to install. Darts, foul line, tape, screws and hanger included. I would recommend getting a good felt wall protector.

I recently purchased the dart board and I must say, I'm thoroughly impressed. Not only does it provide endless entertainment, but it also adds a touch of sophistication to my space. The design is sleek and modern, complementing any decor style seamlessly. The dartboard itself is of high quality, with durable materials ensuring it will withstand countless games without showing signs of wear and tear. Installation was a breeze, thanks to the clear instructions provided. Within minutes, I had it mounted securely on my wall, ready for action. What truly sets this dart board apart is its accuracy. The scoring system is precise, adding an element of competition to each game. Whether I'm playing solo or with friends, I can always rely on the dart board to deliver an authentic experience. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my purchase. It's rare to find a product that combines both style and functionality so effortlessly, but this dart board does just that. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to elevate their game room or add some excitement to their space.

Very inexpensive dartboard for what you get. The board isn’t as self healing as I expected, but the board still looks good with the little holes that show up in the tan sections. The colored sections heal up pretty well. Darts stick with little effort, even for a gentle dart thrower. There really is no need to heave them in there. The dart board did smell a little damp when I first opened it as others mentioned, so I let it sit out for about a day before using it. To be pedantic, some of the colors bleed over a couple mm beyond the wires. I’m not too conserned about that because you can’t even tell unless you are really close. I only noticed because one of the darts I threw angled under the wire in one of those places. I did experience some bounce outs around the stapled sections that left little nicks in the wire, but that is to be expected from a dartboard with staples. The staple free bullseye is only around the double bullseye. If you are looking for a good affordable dartboard, this is it. If your looking for top of the line, I would buy a Winmau blade series dartboard. The darts that came with it throw well, and feel good in the hand. They aren’t professional quality and the shafts break relatively easily, but some aluminum dart shafts will fix that.

One of my favorite purchases I've made on amazon. And I make a lot. This is an excellent dart board and comes with all the little accessories you will need to get started. Excellent manufacturer and I appreciate what they did. You will not be disappointed.

Super produit ! Le jeu est de qualité et la notice de montage est très claire.

My board looked like it has been chipped and covered up with plaster on the back. The board does it’s job though but if you are looking for a high quality product this is not it. The darts that come with it are not great quality either.

Very happy with the quality of this dart board, excellent value for money, easy instructions for mounting height, was well packaged so arrived in perfect condition, appears to be good quality, comes with 2 sets of darts, they aren’t the best but good enough to get started. Wires are good quality with not too many staples so reduces bounce outs, having great fun playing on my own and with friends. Recommend downloading an app such as Dart Counter for more fun when practicing alone.
