Hey guys, I have a question. What is dart stretching and how do you do it? Before you start yelling at me, I did search, and couldn't find anything on how to do it. Any help would be appreciated.

I assume you mean stretching foam before cutting blanks. You attach one end of the foam to some light weight and the other end to rafters/etc. This straightens the foam without expanding it like heating it will. People do this when they have foam that's too big for their barrels. I don't really see the point, just get a barrel material that fits your foam.

Then again, I know everyone was a newb at some point and I bet you most of the people here (myself included) barreled guns based on an inconsistent foam source (pretty much anything you get at a hardware store). Then we realized we needed a reliable foam that fit our already re-barreled guns.

I actually knew someone who once stretched some FBR because he thought it would give him more darts. No joke.

I guess you might get 1-2 out of it :D
