Abstract
A soft tip game dart (30) comprising a plastic tip portion (32), a metallic body portion (34), and a flight or tail portion (36). The tip portion is received in a bore (42) in the portion and is biased forwardly in the bore by a spring and plunger (64, 66). Cross-sectionally, non-annular peripheries of the bore and head section (56) of the tip cooperate to limit relative rotational movement therebetween.
