Dart Trivia: "* Dartboards are made from compressed biscuits of African sisal.
* In 1896, Brian Gamlin, a British carpenter, arranged the numbers on the dartboard as we see them still today.
* Flights made of real turkey feathers are becoming harder to get because of unsatisfactory feathers due to an increasing demand for smaller turkeys.
* The best wooden one-piece darts were manufactured by peasants in the Jura Mountains of Southern France.
* The first man to sell matched sets of brass darts was a Hungarian salesman of boiler linings named Frank Lowy. He went on to found Unicorn darts, still the largest darts manufacturers in the world."
