I shot it years ago at a sport show. I only shot several arrows with a loaner bow but I liked it. jim

We shot it for the first time a few months ago. It was a blast. And it helped me quite a bit, as I'm a newer shooter. It helped the "pick a spot" mental aspect for me. Kinda helped bring some things together that the foam targets couldn't....

We have one locally and it is quite alot of fun. My son and I went up not too long ago and shot the "wild hog" sequence and had way too much fun.

After an hour of that he wanted to try some of the others: polar bear, deer, and turkeys ended up being next in line.

The owner told me when it first came out there was a line every night waiting to use the thing but any more hardly anyone uses it.

It is fun to do when it is cold and crappy out. Once it get nice stumping and 3d is more enjoyable.

Yeah, I shot a Dart league years ago. It was a mix of Trad guys and compound guys. It was kinda funny watching those guys get all fired up cause "they didn't have enough time to shoot". That was the only place that had one, and they closed along time ago.

My wife and I joined a league at a shop about 20 miles away back when I shot compound. Now that I'm into traditional they have closed down. I wish I knew of a shop close to us now.

Well after five times of shooting the dart system we are both improving. My daughter Mack(8), Put 9 arrows in the 10 ring and 10 more vey close she had a couple of complete misses as we all do. The first weeks she really struggled with waiting for the shot and moving animals and not being able to take all of the time in the world to make your shot. I am to say the least very proud of her. I have improved my score also but more important my daughter is sharpening her skills as an archer.

There used to be a place locally that had the Dart target system.......it closed down, but I really enjoyed shooting the various scenarios. For me it is excellent practice for the real thing......even though the range is only 20 yards, the animals in the videos are sometimes much fartther away which reduces the "kill zone" on them.

I haven't had the opportunity to try the technohunt.....but it sounds very similar. For the ranges that I typically shoot here in WV and Ohio..........it is pretty realistic. I still enjoy shooting 3D and there isn't anything better for actual "different" distances, but as said above......it sure is a nice way to spend some time when the cold winds blow.

We went to the one st Bass Pro in Atlanta. I was shooting a 75# Bighorn and 770 grain arrows. They made me stop. They were afraid I wass going to tear the backdrop.

I thought the BAD thing about it was the scale of the animals. The animal looked like it was 40 yards but you knew you were only 15. I thought that sight picture had to be bad for an instinctive shooter.

Dart board? I don't want to talk about it!

There used to be one in Corydon, Indiana that my dad and I would go to about once a week or so back in the mid '90s. We both shot trad then too. We had a great time! It's gone now though. :( I wish there was one close to home now but I don't know of any.

A group of my friends and I all shoot Dart on Friday evening throughout winter. It's fun getting together and shooting at the animals on the screen and giving each other greif.

Ive shot it in the past but it's been awhile. I really enjoyed it for something different.

Dave Bowers · « **Reply #36 on:** February 24, 2011, 01:17:00 PM »

I used to shoot the DART once a week in the shop I used to work at. I think it help me out for nailing a turkey with my recurve, but i like shooting outside more.

KHALVERSON gives me a lesson every week at 2:00 on Sunday. We shoot at 15 yards for our Traditional league. You just forget the visual illusion and shoot every thing for 15 yards. It is fun. We shoot 6 rounds of 5 arrows. We have 4 shooters and it takes almost an hour. $5 each.

I haven't actually shot DART, I've shot TECHNOHUNT a bunch . . . apparently there is a big difference between the two, I've heard DART is more realistic.

Our local shop has the DART, and the one up the road a little ways has the TECHNOHUNT, and they have a much nicer place . . . thats why we keep going back there!

I love it though, gives us something to do when its frigged cold out!

There is a range 2 miles from me that has the dart system. In the winter 4 or 5 of us shoot it every Fri nite. We have a good time. It helps me work on my form also.
