How to throw:
Hold it like a pencil, then throw like a dart.
CAUTION:
Do not throw at pets, humans, other mammals, and stuff like that.
OTHER STUFF:
Good to use for the balloon dart game! (See my other instructables.)
ALSO:
You can fold the stabilizers of the dart one way so it spins while it flies through the air!
