'der Pfeil' and 'der Dart' both refer to a pointed object that can be thrown or shot. 'der Pfeil' is the more general word and is especially used with a bow. 'der Dart' is a small, specific kind of arrow for the game of darts and is thrown at a dartboard. Learners may confuse the words because a dart looks like a small arrow. If it is about archery, you say 'Pfeil'. If it is about the game with the board, you say 'Dart', or often 'Darts' in the plural.
