I bought them because I've worn out my original Gold Widow Darts which is the dart I've shot for a couple of decades. The first time I threw them, I fell in love with them. Of course, we had a dart store and were able to try them out first. At 75 years old, I can no longer afford to spend that much money on darts anymore, so I thought I would give the Voodoo a try based on it's look, online
