Sorry guys I think you are right. I will have to look through the unicorn books later to see exactly what they are. That is just what it said on the side of the box, I didn't even question it.

Are they 'Darrow' flights?...a bit nostalgic looking at these early '70's darts, they're an absolute bargain at that price. Don't be tempted to throw them unless that is, you don't group them, as those flights will be damaged in a matter of minutes otherwise.

My father Merlin, once told me that
"You should end up pointing to what you were aiming at when you've released the Dart."

I am waiting to throw them until I get some nylon 1/4" stems and regular flights.

They are darrow flights - they are actually more hard wearing than you think - rough them up and you can generally just smooth them back into shape.

I have some experience with feathered flights and I am sure they will hold up just fine. It's just that I would like to keep them in good condition if I ever plan to sell them one day. They look like they have never been thrown.
