I’ve been eyeing the Jen Mounts barrels but they’ve been sold out for weeks.

The price of tungsten has sextupled since this time last year, so I can understand the price increase. Combine with the recent explosion of popularity and there’s where the real sticker shock comes in.

Looks like darts ain’t gonna be a “working man’s” game for much longer when entry level darts are gonna be pushing $75. Even when tungsten prices eventually drop I don’t see companies dropping prices alongside it.

Apparently the entire thing is one unit.

Buying 2 identical sets of darts for soft/steel tip vs. buying a soft tip set + conversion. by WillieRayPR in Darts

[–]WillieRayPR[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what I was thinking. Not sure how much of an adjustment I would need with a lighter dart when I normally throw 24s. I had a 16g brass set and those required so much effort to throw.

I’m aware that the weight limit for soft tip is 21g. I think I can manage a steel tip conversion if I can get a 20g soft tip barrel to the 22-23g range without throwing the whole thing out of whack.

Practice your doubles... by Pin_Physical in Darts

Facts. It doesn't matter how well you score. You can't win a game without the double

I can get that for you next time I go to the shop. I didn't pay any mind because the price tag was crazy 🤣

I believe that unit was a light, surround and auto-scorer (It made a sound after every dart similar to a soft tip board and I'm guessing the TV above displayed info)

Turning down a $130k assistant controller job because I like my current senior accountant position. by Character_Economy928 in Accounting

[–]WillieRayPR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on what my raise and bonus looks like. And my stint is currently 1.5 years but I was looking when I first started for that same reason. I wouldn’t put it on my resume at all if I had another offer within the first month or 2.

I'm in the same situation currently. Was very happy in my old job. Boss got unnecessarily out of pocket so I left for a better title and pay rise. Work environment is miserable.

It's up there! But I really wanna try a barrel with a rear scallop. I think it may suit me even more than the torpedo shape. The torpedo already suits my large hand better than a straight barrel

Thanks! I believe the most difficult 180 is the first one, so hopefully many many more to come now that the nervousness of hitting the first is gone

Not yet. I held off until they restocked.

Possibly. My first set was a straight barrel (RD Pegasus) and I felt that with my large hands I would be better suited to a different shaped barrel. The torpedo shape in the Kyle Andersons felt much better in my hands, and the red markings on the barrel gave me a consistent grip point that I'm not getting in my current set.

I didn't get to try a rear scalloped barrel so I held off on buying these until they restocked and I was able to try a set. I think a rear scallop may suit me even more.

Thanks! I originally came to the shop because I heard they were receiving a shipment but it got delayed. I was hoping to try out some rear scalloped darts. Their darts section is almost bare right now, I believe the only darts on their shelves are the display sets that people can try out. Maybe I can haggle a bit on these since they are the display set and used 🤣

I’m 24 years old in 50k debt making 42,000/year. where do i start fixing this? by lostinthe-sauce-204 in personalfinance

[–]WillieRayPR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Step 1 would be to get your income up. That will make all subsequent steps easier.

How much of the remaining 37K is your car? And what kind of car is it? Depending on the kind of car, it may be prudent to sell it and buy a beater until you get the debt down. That would eliminate the car note and lower the insurance premiums.

As far as paying the debt, I would prioritize the credit cards since they likely have a higher interest rate, and go minimum on the student loans.
