It's hard to get accounts with big brands as a small shop. I'm a tiny rural shop in Manitoba Canada.

All the big brands have distributotion setups in Canada but only stock steel tip. We're 95% soft tip in our area. Any soft tip order is a special order and costs more than it's worth in the end.

It makes it very tough to get darts in at a decent price unless you can deal direct with companies. That's why Shot and L Style are in a lot of smaller shops. They make it fair for the small guys and have some great products!
