I have talked about the gratification of owning an electronic dartboard, but in doing so I have failed to sing the praises of the sisal dartboard. The sisal board is designed for playing with steel tip darts. The first versions of this board were made of pig hair or cork. This type of board is made up of natural rope fiber that is compressed under pressure and secured with a steel band. The fiber is then sanded and dyed with colors or images. With the boards attached so tightly, they will keep performing for a long time, giving your family and friends years of dart-throwing enjoyment. There are three boards I’d like to talk about: Razorback, Dead-On, and Shot King. Each of these boards are the standard 18″ x 1 1/2″ and weigh just over 12 pounds. The quality construction of these three boards is exceptional and will withstand any dart attack you can throw at it.
The sisal fibers in these dartboards make them self-healing, so game after game, no matter how hard you hit it, your board will keep looking sharp. Each of the boards has a movable number ring, known as a spider, which also extends the life of the board. So if your triple twenty starts to take a bit of a beating, you can move the number ring to another position. Sisal boards are for all types of players and are perfect for competition or fun. So whether you’re a beginner or an expert when you approach hockey and bombard the board with masterfully thrown pitches, you can be sure you’re playing on the highest quality boards. All three of these boards come with stapleless bullseye and thin wire segment dividers that allow for less bounce. The Razorback features wires as thin as a knife blade, while the Dead-On features diamond-shaped wires that help make every shot count and keep the game bouncy-free as you take on the competition. Each board comes with a game manual and mounting hardware.
With a sisal board, you must have a dartboard cabinet because everyone fails from time to time and you’ll want to protect your walls from being destroyed. The cabinets available today look great and will be a welcome addition to your family or game room. They are constructed of fine quality oak and mahogany and come in a variety of designs. The cabinet will keep the board hidden when not in use and will leave the room neat and tidy.
