Shot Darts – Warrior – Taiaha (soft tip)

Steeped in deep tribal history and used in fierce competition, the Taiaha spear used in close combat is more than an implement of warfare to Māori; it’s taonga (treasure) handed down through the generations. Honouring this traditional craft, Shot commissioned master carver Whare Thompson to design this impressive Taiaha’s sleeve, finely laser etched into the barrel. This Warrior never slips with three distinct grip zones along the dart length and a bull nose that minimises deflections. Take up the challenge!

Design features

The Taiaha is a straight dart set with three distinct grip zones, signaled by large open grooves and equipped with a soft bull nose that still feels great against your front finger while minimizing deflections. (Bull noses are traditionally very flat or short; this nose is less severe and longer with a small taper). The front has two grip sections for the player to customize finger placement. The rings are wider from the center to the tail, maximizing the traction.
