Made for pinpoint accuracy and seamless consistency, the Stowe Buntz Darts Range joins the ranks of the Shot Pro Series collection in this Shot launch. These darts perfectly embody Stowe Buntz's signature dart throwing style all in one sleek darts range!
Hailing from Portsmouth, Virginia, Stowe Buntz has been playing darts for over 20 years and making a big name for himself in the professional darts world. Stowe is not just a long-time winner of ADO and ADA tournaments – he's also ranked No.2 on the CDC Ranking!
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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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:
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.
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!
STEEL TIP
SOFT TIP
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.

As a 20+ year darts veteran, Stowe Buntz has acquired a lengthy list of accolades and praise from darts fans far and wide. Here's a deeper look into the show-stopping American darts player:
In a must-watch top 16 match of the 2023 DPFL Live Event, streamed by our live streaming brand USA Darts, Stowe Buntz throws what many consider to be the best leg of cricket ever captured by us!
In an article about Stowe Buntz's participation in the 2023 Grand Slam of Darts, DartsNews affectionately refers to Stowe as the “American Peter Wright”. Looking at them side by side, it's clear why they drew that comparison – both men break the mold of standard plain sportswear and opt for wearing bright colored, eccentric outfit choices with many eye-catching patterns.
For a long time, Stowe's darts nickname has been "Buntzy" – but that's soon to change! Shot and Stowe searched for a new darts nickname with the debut of the Stowe Buntz darts, and they have recruited the help of fans via Shot's Facebook page. Many comments derived nicknames from Buntz's radioactive symbol, while others hailed him as a darts showman.
In the end, Stowe settled on his new nickname – the Neon Nightmare! Perfectly suited for his bright eye-catching outfits and his fierce competition on the oche.
Whether you're a fan of Stowe or not, we imagine the Stowe Buntz darts will be a very popular option for everyone's next dart purchase – long straight barrels are the most popular barrel type in the United States. It’s clearly the perfect shaped barrel for Stowe – he has a 5 finger hold rests his entire hand on the top, really utilizing the 55mm length. As a final takeaway, we're just surprised it has no color.
