Hall of Fame With dedication, hard work, perseverance and faith in your product, Paul Beall became joint owner of Arachnid, Inc. in July of 1977. From there he became the pioneer of electronic darts. There were many early struggles and slow acceptance creating the first electronic soft-tip dart game. But with Paul’s dedication and faith in his product, he guided Arachnid into the mid 80’s assisting distributors and operators, setting up leagues, running tournaments, and becoming a successful company. The dart game that Paul Beall decided to stake his dream on has made a lasting impact in the world of darts and the coin-operated game industry. Under Paul’s direction, and with a group of loyal employees, Arachnid became the leader in the electronic dart game industry. Paul is retired now, but his three sons, Tony, Chris and Shawn, bought Arachnid last May from previous owners, and are now carrying on Paul’s dream. Arachnid and the BullShooter employees would like to honor Paul with the “Hall of Fame” Award and sincerely thank him for working hard to make his dream a reality and Arachnid a success! Thank You Paul! Paul has written a book about his experience in fulfilling his dream. Call Arachnid if you wish to order a copy. 7
