Tournament quality dartboards are made of natural rope fiber (sisal). These fibers are compressed under tons of pressure and banded with steel, then bonded to a non-warping backboard. The surface is later sanded smooth and then screenprinted with the appropriate colors. Finally, the wires are stapled on and the number ring attached with clips, to allow easy rotation of worn areas. Most high-quality dartboards are still made in England, home of the sport of Darts. One company, Puma, makes a line of high quality boards in New Zealand. Note: It is a common misconception that dartboards are made of hair or bristles from pigs, camels, or horses. This is a myth... No such animal fiber boards have ever been made!
