Shoot the Bull

They provided exceptional customer service. They took their time showing us the different types of steel tip darts and one of the customers trying out darts got a 180. We’ll definitely be back.

They really helped me out with buying the best darts, flights, and shafts tailored to my crazy throw. I spend way too much time and of course money. I only started playing a few months ago and now I am addicted. Bill and Bob are AWESOME!

I highly recommend this quintessential dart shop, I wish I had more hands so I could give Shoot the Bull four thumbs up.

Phoenix is fortunate to have fully dedicated dart shops, we are sadly lacking any in Las Vegas so we hit them up while we were in town. If you're going to visit one dart shop in the Phoenix area it should be Shoot the Bull. They have a very full range of steel tip and soft tip darts, dart boards, and dart supplies. It was clear that the gentleman helping us with our darts has been a lifetime dart player. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared relevant opinions and insights that were quite helpful.

We threw a least two dozen sets of darts at some awesome dart boards (We have become Shot Bandit fans and want one more than a Winmau Blade 6 now) and were surprised that we liked some of the outliers as much as we did, such as the 40g bricks (loved them) and the forward-weighted torpedo barrels (It's counter to my 'the thinner the barrel, the better' taste). (I still could not stand smooth sets devoid of any knurling.) We found several unusual knurling patterns that were remarkably nicer than what we've been used to throwing. While they have an excellent selection of Shot darts they also have a custom line of Shot darts that were commissioned by the store owner, and I have to say that I liked several of them as much or more than the stock Shot darts. They are 24g so a little light for me, but 24g is a very popular weight and I would feel comfortable throwing them in a competition.

We were sad to hear that they had sold their Prodigy board, which is a steel tip autoscoring board. We're hoping they get another one in so we can see one IRL. At a grand they are pricey, but they've sold a few and for anyone whose played an expensive sport like Ice Hockey realizes how cheap of a sport darts really is. ($300 will get you a top of the line board, great tungsten darts, and all the accessories you'd need for at least a year. That's less than my ice skates.) If a good portion of your life is centered around a particular activity it can justify a purchase like that.

We'll definitely be returning, likely to pick up a set or two of darts. Hats off to the owner and staff, this is what a dart store should be like.

Just went in and was shown how to throw properly. The guy in there was great very friendly and knowledgeable very helpful. Will definitely be going back
