Darts
Facts, tips and ideas about Darts — and how to find people for it.
Did you know?
Pro darts players hit the triple-20 from 2.37m away on an area smaller than a postage stamp.
Today's dartboard layout was designed by the English carpenter Brian Gamlin in 1896 — the seemingly random sequence 20–1–18–4–13… punishes inaccuracy consistently: next to every high number sits at least one low one.

A dart bar is the living room you only find when someone takes you along.
Tip
For a start: aim for the 19 instead of the 20. Less risk, more points.
Throw from the elbow, not the shoulder. The elbow is a hinge, the shoulder a ball joint — if you keep the hinge steady, you'll hit the same spot more often.
