Terry Maness enjoyed being a Horizon Darts investor, but never intended to take an active role in the company. When her husband died unexpectedly nearly three years ago, Maness faced the choice of selling the company, closing it or stepping in to keep her husband's dream alive. “I have no business background at all,” Maness said. “I was completely out of my realm coming into this. I was a computer nerd. I was about building a better mousetrap, not running a dart company.”
Today the company has sales around the world and $1 million in inventory at any given time. It is among the top five dart companies in sales in the world, Maness said, and the only one led by a woman.
