Viper by GLD Products Shot King Regulation Bristle Steel Tip Dartboard Set with Bullseye Metal Radial Spider Wire Compressed Sisal Board with Rotating Number Ring Includes 6 Darts Black

***Update: the seller sent me some extra darts, so I’m changing from 4 to 5 stars. Excellent customer service and a fun family game! This dartboard has been a huge hit with my family! The board itself is sturdy and well-made, and it’s become a go-to activity for everyone. Unfortunately, one of the darts was broken right out of the box, which was a bit disappointing. That said, it hasn’t stopped us from having a great time. What We Loved: • Sturdy and High Quality: The board feels durable, and the bullseye and wire setup are spot-on. • Family Fun: It’s easy to set up, and we’ve been having a blast playing together—it’s brought out our competitive sides! What Could Be Better: • One of the included darts was broken when we opened the package. It’s not a dealbreaker, but a bit of a letdown for something brand new. Overall, the dartboard itself is excellent and has provided hours of fun for my family. We’ll likely get some new darts soon to keep the games going!

Got it set up in less than an hour. Quality is great. I have another. More expensive dirtboard in the backyard but i like this one better

One of my favorite purchases I've made on amazon. And I make a lot. This is an excellent dart board and comes with all the little accessories you will need to get started. Excellent manufacturer and I appreciate what they did. You will not be disappointed.

UPDATE 12/11/25 after heavy and considerable use I have decided to update my review for this item. This particular board does still retain a bit of bounce back, but now that the board itself has been loosened and broken in I can say that this is one of the finest dartboards and its price range. So much in fact that I have decided to put the included decal upon my vehicle, representing this brand almost proudly. If you are looking to get into darts, or perhaps a practice board you cannot, and probably will not beat Viper. Bounce back 3000, is what this board should’ve been called. While it is a good deal for the price, bear in mind that the board is NOT exactly self healing, as they proclaim. Also, the wiring on this board is by far the worst I’ve ever experienced in a dartboard. This literally will be sending your darts back at you, so keep a safe distance. Other than that it’s okay, but some reality was needed on this item.

I did some research before buying a dartboard to make sure I didn't end up buying a cheap piece of junk that I was just going to have to replace after a few games. I learned right away that sisal fibre or "bristle" boards are better than the old "cork" boards that were common when I was a kid. I noticed that the Viper Shot King was consistently rated as one of the best, but I wasn't sure at first because, compared to some of the other recommended boards, the Viking has a much lower price. But since the reviews were mostly positive, I went ahead and bought one, and I've played almost every day since I hung it on my carport wall about two weeks ago. The first thing I noticed when I opened the box was the weight. This board is packed with lots of fibre that makes for a consistent surface tension. The wire ring with the numbers is movable so that the board can be rotated periodically to get an even wear, while making sure that the 20 is always in the 12 o'clock position like it's supposed to be. To install it, a bracket mounts on the wall -- or like I did, on a 3ft. X 3ft. square piece of plywood to protect the wall from getting holes all over it -- and then a screw goes right in the center of the back of the board to hang from the bracket (so that the board can be rotated). It includes three spacers to make an even gap between the mounting surface and the back of the board. Once the depth of the center screw is adjusted to make sure the board doesn't rotate too loosely, it's ready to go. On the front, the wiring is attached very tightly and evenly to the board, using as few staples as possible. The wire around the single (green) bull has no staples, and the double (red) bull has its own separate metal ring, made to taper to a sharp front edge. The playing surface is smooth, the painted sections are very bright, and they are evenly sized and proportioned. The board I bought came with 2 sets of darts that are fairly well made, but they're a bit too light for players like me who prefer heavier barrels. The shafts, however, are not very well made, so I changed them on the first day, but kept the original red and black flights, which have the Viper name on them. I use those darts for friends who prefer to play with lighter darts, so it's nice to have them. Considering that it is priced at least 20 dollars less than other quality boards this is, without a doubt, one of the best official competition size (18 inch) dart boards you can get. The mounting hardware is made from decent quality materials, and the installation is simple but effective. The ability to rotate the board so that the playing surface wears evenly makes for a longer product life. The playing area is very well crafted, and it is so well assembled that the wiring lines up perfectly with the edge of every section. I'm very happy with my Viper Shot King, and I've recommended it to all my friends. Before buying it, it had been years since I played darts, and having it now has made me rediscover the game. I had forgotten how much fun it is!

I like darts, I have yet to install it. But I will tell you that this is a nice Dart Board.

Very inexpensive dartboard for what you get. The board isn’t as self healing as I expected, but the board still looks good with the little holes that show up in the tan sections. The colored sections heal up pretty well. Darts stick with little effort, even for a gentle dart thrower. There really is no need to heave them in there. The dart board did smell a little damp when I first opened it as others mentioned, so I let it sit out for about a day before using it. To be pedantic, some of the colors bleed over a couple mm beyond the wires. I’m not too conserned about that because you can’t even tell unless you are really close. I only noticed because one of the darts I threw angled under the wire in one of those places. I did experience some bounce outs around the stapled sections that left little nicks in the wire, but that is to be expected from a dartboard with staples. The staple free bullseye is only around the double bullseye. If you are looking for a good affordable dartboard, this is it. If your looking for top of the line, I would buy a Winmau blade series dartboard. The darts that came with it throw well, and feel good in the hand. They aren’t professional quality and the shafts break relatively easily, but some aluminum dart shafts will fix that.

No surprises, great board.
