How to Practice Darts

1.Around the Board: Throw three darts at each number on the board in succession from 1 to 20. Aim for the open wedges, not the double or triple ring. Increase the difficulty by aiming for either the smaller or the larger wedge to improve shot placement.

2.Doubles and Triples: Concentrate on the double or triple rings only, and throw three darts at each in order. This will help score these precise shots in a crunch.

3.All Bulls: Throw three darts at the bullseye in the center of the board. On the London board, increase the difficulty by aiming at only the red-dot double bull (worth 50 points in '01s or two points in Cricket) or only at the outer green ring, which is the single bull(worth 25 points in '01s or one point in Cricket).

4.Out Shots: In '01 dart games, the final dart thrown must be a double that reduces a player's score to zero. The minimum number of darts for a perfect game of 501 is nine. How does one get from 501 points to zero points, ending on a double? For this it takes what is called an "out chart." This shows mathematically possible combinations of scores for either two or three darts to "go out" (win the game). For instance, if a player has a remaining score of 80, the chart shows a two-dart out of triple 16 (48 points) followed by double 16 (32 points). He shoots for the triple first. If he misses and "hits fat" (in one of the wedges that score a single 16), he mentally subtracts 16 points, leaving 64, and goes on to the winning combination for that number of points. In practice, find this number on the chart and throw at the numbers needed to get there with the two darts still in hand.Consulting a paper chart is too distracting in tournament play, so serious dart players commit these combinations (at least their favorite ones) to memory for instant recall. Work through out-shot combinations as a productive way to practice, since it will encompass the whole   board,including "Annie's room" (double 1).
