Darts has seen a remarkable rise in popularity in recent years, taking it far beyond its traditional image as a beloved British hobby. The emergence of teenage prodigy Luke Littler has catapulted the sport to new heights, making darts more popular than ever.

Target Darts, one of the premier brands in the world of darts, supplies top players such as Luke Littler, Rob Cross and Nathan Aspinall. In an effort to engage directly with fans, the brand recently opened its first Target Darts pop-up shop in Manchester, offering an immersive darts experience and showcasing new product lines.

The shop not only offers exciting new product launches but also provides fans with the opportunity to try out equipment, including the Omni, Target's autoscoring technology and light ring (advance booking required). Stocked with rare items and exclusive merchandise not available elsewhere.

The temporary store has even hinted at the chance of visitors running into professional players, stating: "If you're lucky...you might even bump into a pro or two". While it remains to be seen which professionals might make appearances.

Some of the most well-known players from Target Darts include Stephen Bunting, Luke Littler, Nathan Aspinall, Rob Cross and Chris Dobey. To keep up-to-date on bookings and daily events, Target suggests following them on social media while the shop is still open, according to the Manchester Evening News.

Target isn't the sole brand favoured by professional darts players, with Red Dragon also being a popular choice amongst Premier League champion and multiple major winner, Luke Humphries. As well as Welsh stars Jonny Clayton and Gerwyn Price. Meanwhile, three-time world champion Michael van Gerwen prefers Winmau arrows, available for £89.95 on Amazon.

It achieved a 4.4 out of 5 from customer feedback. One customer commented: "I've placed several orders with Target Darts, now, and have been thoroughly impressed every time.
