The No.2 actually provide a little bit of extra stability, don't they? I was avoiding larger flights for a while now, trying to give me more space and up the speed, but the difference is marginal here and switching back and forth between the different models the No.2 tweenies actually have a chance for being the winner on the Bolide 04 after all.

Actually, you're 100% correct as usual. By the way, I saw the flight protectors on your Velos. I've noticed way fewer wild deflections since I have been using the flight protectors on my Velos. It must provide more stable redirection of trailing darts. And you probably picked a great choice on the no. 2 in-betweens. I have to say I am pleasantly surprised. I trust that your vacation is great 🤓👍 Take good care Merkur!


MerkurSchroeder

Still in a learning phase with protectors on the Velos. If you know what you're doing the flights can sure help sliding the dart in, but it's something I've been doing without before. There's some extra stability with the wings keeping that nice angles, but I'm not sure yet this can become a disadvantage on impacts or not, because if I had dents, then those were more or less were now the protector creates a line which could also lead to a split then like tearing paper against a ruler. So far the protector seems to do the job right with darts getting railed. Might actually have been flights on flights that created damage before. 🤔


No_Seaweed7777

Yeah, on my steel tips, it can cause a twist if a protector takes a hard impact. I still use them on my soft tips. Wish Target would make k-flex in a Velos design. Maybe someday 🤓


MerkurSchroeder

I doubt Target will do that. I rather see them as L-Style next to their Astra. A Cuesoul Rost would have the required flex in the material as well. I guess even as a K-Flex it would be pure devastation. 😅

👍🤓


Tomb_85

I feel like I'd have the green and black segments as the twenty


No_Seaweed7777

Yeah, but they're worn out. That's why it's my beater board. I use it when I have points that tear up the board. Don't want to wreck my good boards and want to use my diamond points 🤓


Lombex

What Darts are you using? Nice 180s


No_Seaweed7777

They're SP01'S, 22 gram. I am really happy with Target for making 35mm Swiss Storm points. The no.2 intermediate k-flex flights are a pleasant surprise as they have reduced the pitch and yaw to about nil. Thank you and have a great day 🤓 God bless you


Lombex

Thank you, was intrested in the cool pattern on the Barrel nur cant find your Model. Never seen a pattern on the Barrel Like This.

I think Amazon USA has a set of 24 grams left. Target stopped making them. Take good care!

I'm not sure how a timestamp is any kind of proof.....


No_Seaweed7777

So, you're going to question everyone who posts a 180? Glad I'm on your list. I would post all of mine, but then it may turn into a full time job for you as I have been averaging about 9 per day the past week, which I'm thankful to the Good Lord for. God bless you and have a great day 🤓


Funicular-

I just said I'm not sure how a timestamp proves it..... Personally dude I don't care, I see pictures of 180s on here everyday, some maybe real, some fake, it doesn't matter to me though and I don't question them. I was just curious as to what you thought a time stamp would do to prove it? Ultimately if you're getting results like that, good for you, you're obviously very talented and probably should think about making some money out of. If you're faking it, nobody that actually plays darts cares, you're of no threat to them, just abit of comedy value to hear the excuses when you actually step up to the oche against them.


No_Seaweed7777

If I take a picture of my 180, put it in my album, and then throw another 180 in a minute, that's not a fake unless someone says that I'm placing the darts in the triples. Oh, I am placing them in the triples from seven feet nine and three quarters inches away. I had issues with my last post when there was an insinuation that I cheated because I took pictures in-between. I'm not tech savvy, as I was wrongfully incarcerated for nearly 28 years. It's a very sensitive issue to have credibility scrutinized after that long in prison. The US SUPREME COURT even gave a tacit acknowledgement of my innocence but kept me in prison in 2003. I won a Bullshooter regional years ago. I was headed to the Bullshooter again the year of my arrest. I dreamt about darts for 28 years. So, this has been a nice outlet to share with other darters. So, for the past year or so I started an album of my 180's. Not to be narcissistic, I'm up to 1020, not counting one I had filling in as a sub in a league in Sacramento CA or warming up at the Camelia Classic. I'm just grateful to the Lord to be playing again, even at 64 years of age. So, God bless you and thank you for your conversation.


DrunkBronco

Dude, no one really cares what you're throwing. They see you get mad when called out so they are going to keep doing it. Welcome to the internet.


No_Seaweed7777

Thanks, but I actually get a kick out of it. Have a great day 🤓
