The Shot Saver bristle dartboard is constructed of millions of super dense, high quality, African sisal fibers, for self- healing durability. The Shot Saver has the added advantage of a matrix of triangular wires that allow on coming darts to slide to either side resulting in fewer bounce-outs and higher scoring darts. This triangular network of wires is anchored with the micro staple system that consists of a limited strategic placement of a smaller than normal set of staples and is completed with a staple free bulls-eye. The Shot Saver dartboard is extremely durable and can stand up to heavy league and tavern use.
