ABSTRACT:
A recreational dart is described which includes a body portion or barrel which is hollow and within which there is provided a spring bias mass which exhibits a momentum during the flight of the dart towards a target. As the dart reaches the target and the point commences to be embedded therein, the mass slides forwardly against a retaining spring to impart its momentum to the dart somewhat in the manner of a dead blow hammer. The point of the dart is retained in a normal position aligned with the central axis of the dart body by a spring contained within the dart body. Should the point strike a non-yielding portion of a target such as a wire scoring boundary, the point will be permitted to deflect and retract rearwardly until striking a camming surface which enhances its off axis orientation and thus permits the dart to slide off of the boundary wire and enter the target to avoid "bounce out".
