Shoot the Bull

Nice shop, and the guy working was super friendly, just a bit pushy. Cues are a bit price. When asking for something smal, he tries to sell you on a 2k cue. Just need a tip man, then he tried to sell a 650$ shaft instead of a tip. Just need a tip man, then he bounced away to help someone else. Then came back, and I once again asked for a tip. But I got taken back to cue case.... I work in sales, so I get it. Just don't need to be so aggressive. I would love to own those cues, I already own one though . Don't try telling me a 2k cue will improve my game since I only have a 250$ cue. I get whooped by house cues on the regular so thats not a part of it. The cue helps but is mostly just a flex. Nice shop and beautiful cues, just tone down the desperation for a big sale.

I highly recommend this quintessential dart shop, I wish I had more hands so I could give Shoot the Bull four thumbs up. Phoenix is fortunate to have fully dedicated dart shops, we are sadly lacking any in Las Vegas so we hit them up while we were in town. If you're going to visit one dart shop in the Phoenix area it should be Shoot the Bull. They have a very full range of steel tip and soft tip darts, dart boards, and dart supplies. It was clear that the gentleman helping us with our darts has been a lifetime dart player. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared relevant opinions and insights that were quite helpful. We threw a least two dozen sets of darts at some awesome dart boards (We have become Shot Bandit fans and want one more than a Winmau Blade 6 now) and were surprised that we liked some of the outliers as much as we did, such as the 40g bricks (loved them) and the forward-weighted torpedo barrels (It's counter to my 'the thinner the barrel, the better' taste). (I still could not stand smooth sets devoid of any knurling.) We found several unusual knurling patterns that were remarkably nicer than what we've been used to throwing. While they have an excellent selection of Shot darts they also have a custom line of Shot darts that were commissioned by the store owner, and I have to say that I liked several of them as much or more than the stock Shot darts. They are 24g so a little light for me, but 24g is a very popular weight and I would feel comfortable throwing them in a competition. We were sad to hear that they had sold their Prodigy board, which is a steel tip autoscoring board. We're hoping they get another one in so we can see one IRL. At a grand they are pricey, but they've sold a few and for anyone whose played an expensive sport like Ice Hockey realizes how cheap of a sport darts really is. ($300 will get you a top of the line board, great tungsten darts, and all the accessories you'd need for at least a year. That's less than my ice skates.) If a good portion of your life is centered around a particular activity it can justify a purchase like that. We'll definitely be returning, likely to pick up a set or two of darts. Hats off to the owner and staff, this is what a dart store should be like.

Great place have been in so many times. Purchased my first Dartboard and multiple dart set from them. They took the time to set everything up go over how to hang it at my house. Also brought in one of my pool cue to have the shaft re surfaced and fair price on great work. Purchased my wife a new Cue as well. I will recommend this location for service and product.
