Unboxing Target's Mystique-5 (Number 5)

Target Darts unveiled the first series of its Number-5 darts set aptly named Target Number 5 with 3 sets called Genesis-5, Mystique-5 and Zener-5. The Number-5 series features the new design of a super slim tip, allowing for a tighter squeeze in the bull for the advanced darter. The new tip standard, called Number-5, originally featured in Monster Darts' Monster Hades 2. It has a smaller thread form (4.3mm) compared to the 2BA standard (5.3mm). The new Number-5 tips are available from Lippoint.

Today, we unboxed the Mystique-5 set here. It is a 90% Tungsten barrel featuring the usual Target PIXEL technology and NANO technology to achieve its unusual curved grooves on the torpedo-shaped barrel. The slimmer Number-5 tip allows for a unique slim line design down the front to allow for a heavier front load design.
