Abstract
A 'safety' game dart for use with a dart board having plural projecting dart-receiving fingers, includes an elongate dart body with plural guide wings at one end and a blunt non-metal tip at the opposite end. The tip is formed of an elastomer, e.g. rubber, to be compressibly resilient for compression fitting into a mounting recess in the dart body and to compress upon impact to minimize possible injury or damage to persons or objects accidentally struck by the dart. Each wing includes a laterally projecting planar main guide portion coplanar with the elongate extent of the dart body and an angularly oriented planar tail portion transverse with respect to the dart body, to induce rotation of the dart during flight.
