Lawn darts or Lawn Jarts they are sometimes called are GREAT! Unfortunately they are illegal. LOL I have a friend who has a set from her grandparents. We play with them every summer. The only place I have found them is at yard sales with lots of searching. Or you can by them in pieces on the internet and put them together yourself.

My inlaws have a set. No more dangerous than a set of horseshoes in my opinion. You get hit in the head with either and you're going to be F'd.

They came out with some plastic ones a while back, but they sucked. Plastic just sucks in general.

We had a set when I was a kid. Until I decided to see how high I could through them and it ended up in the middle of the pool. Then they got tossed in the trash.
