STOWE BUNTZ'S LEGACY

Recently, Stowe has caught the eye of international audiences after dominating the 2023 Championship Darts Circuit season. In 2023 alone, Stowe has appeared in 6 Finals winning 4 events, including the CDC Congressional, Cosmo Fit Flight Challenge, Hitkor Heritage Tournament and the Galaxy Gold Cup.
After receiving the #2 seed in the Continental Cup, Stowe stormed through a tough feed of competitors to lift the title and receive a berth in the 2023 Grand Slam of Darts and PDC World Championships.
As Stowe continues to conquer the darts world, we can't wait to see where the new Stowe Buntz darts range takes his career next.
STOWE BUNTZ DARTS RANGE VIDEO REVIEW
Jen Mounts gives you an in-depth review of the Stowe Buntz Darts Range by Shot. She compares the soft tip and steel tip versions and elaborates on the overall design including cuts, coating and grip intensity – plus some throwing action in the end. Let’s go over each aspect one by one:
CUTS - SIMPLISTIC DESIGN
The Stowe Buntz darts are quite simple and sleek in design, each finished in a classic silver appearance, yet built for optimal balance.
Engraved into the smooth section of the rear is Stowe's last name Buntz followed by classic radial grooves. Another smooth section towards the middle has Stowe's signature radiation emblem etched in. Once again, more radial grooves then we finish off with wide spread smooth sections offset by ring cuts.
GRIP INTENSITY 2.5/5
Overall, we give this barrel a grip intensity of 2 ½ out of 5. Stowe himself describes the milling as a unique blend of sharpness and smoothness, which we agree with - the radial grooves do add a bit of bite in those sections offering multiple grip reference points throughout.
Suggested Grip Style for Stowe Buntz Darts
The Stowe Buntz darts are the perfect choice for dart players with a widespread grip, five finger hold or middle to rear grippers of all skill levels.
90% TUNGSTEN BARREL
All Stowe Buntz darts share the same material composition – the barrel is made from 90% tungsten metal makeup. The higher percentage of tungsten gives the barrel a more dense and slimmer feel without compromising weight and durability.
WEIGHT & PURCHASE OPTIONS
Both the Stowe Buntz darts steel tip and soft tip models are exactly the same, both 55mm long, except for the blunt nose profile on the steel tip.
View the various weight options that we carry below for steel tip and soft tip:
Standard points - Steel Tip models
The Stowe Buntz steel tip darts are fitted with standard black points from Shot, featuring a sleek black steel material that'll ensure your points last.
premium lippoint - soft tip models
The Stowe Buntz darts soft tip set includes Premium Lippoint soft tips from L-Style that work with all soft tip dartboards. They are durable and offer extra finger grip patterns at the base of the tip to help prevent bounce outs.
Don't forget that you can convert any soft tip dart into a steel tip dart simply by grabbing a set of conversion points!

Stowe Buntz DARTS FLIGHT & SHAFT
Each range in the Shot Pro Series collection, including the Stowe Buntz darts range, share the same flight design. An intricate monochrome mandala pattern of angled lines and swirls create a beautiful mosaic for the flight design, and at the center is Shot's logo in red, black and white.
These 100 micron flights provide maximum lift and stability of the dart when it is in flight.
Keeping it classic, Shot used their high performing Tao Carbon Shafts for the Stowe Buntz darts. The name Tao comes from the name of a traditional Māori wooden spear, perfectly complementing the high quality construction of these shafts.
Each shaft is made to be lightweight and durable with premium spring rings, ensuring your darts don't fall apart or get damaged as you throw.
