    (54) Improvements in or relating to darts


    (57) A dart capable of being used either with a conventional dartboard or an electronic board includes a barrel (1) which carries or is adapted to carry at one end a shaft (2) capable of receiving a flight (3) and is formed at its other end with means by which a point-carrying extension piece can selectively be connected to or disconnected from the barrel. The barrel end may be formed with an internally threaded bore (5) for receiving a threaded member (7) protruding from one end of each of at least two individual point-carrying extension pieces, one such extension piece carrying a metallic point and an other extension piece carrying a non-metallic point.
