3.0 out of 5 stars New & Improved Isn't Always Better !!!, April 7, 2008

I just bought this set because I remember as a child playing this, but I was soarly disappointed in the changes that have been made over the years. I guess due to safety reasons they replaced the metal arrow that would actually stick in the ground where it landed with a more rounded , bulbous type arrow that now when hits a bulls eye bounces out instead of sticking in the ground. The bulls eye rings are made of a thin rubbery plastic like fish tank air tubing instead of a hard more durable plastic like in the good old days. It was still a blast to play, especially if your a young one who isn't lucky enough to have experienced the old timey metal types, but as an older
generation the changes were to be a bit of a disappointment.

The supplier was wonderful but this is certainly nothing like the original Jarts game...pretty boring as this new style doesn't stick in the ground to get points...probably would be better to just throw colored rocks in a circle...

3.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable, but not durable, May 4, 2009

I don't mind the change in the tips from metal to rubber; however, as one of the other reviewers points out, the jarts do bounce quite a bit now. What bother me is the moving vanes (what I would call the fletching on an arrow) on the jart. The original lawn darts that I had in the 70s were one solid piece of plastic with the metal tips. The new jarts have vanes that slide up and down the shaft. The problem with moving parts is that they break. And after one session of play with my friend and his nine year old daughter, guess what? One of the darts now comes apart (the vanes leave the shaft) on nearly every throw. Given that the toy is meant for family play, I think I should expect that they last more than one session with a nine year-old.
