Take your time on the other shots , looks like you were rushing it. I gate with the tree fork , use different darts for accuracy . I have the same wood darts you were shooting and I'm sure you notice they tend to bend easy therefore not fly well. I like the shorter metal darts and we also have the CS blowguns here. My son shoots the 5 foot two piece and I shoot the 5 foot one piece. Love all of them .
