Wheelchair Dartboard Set-up

In 2010 Russ Strobel submitted to the Darts Australia a new recommended wheelchair dartboard set-up. The height Russ has come up with is 137cm to the centre Bull. The height was based on the perceived origins of the standard hanging height of the standard clock dartboard. It is said the average height of a man in the England UK was 5’8” around 1920’s, the height to the centre bulls-eye of a standard board. Modern adjustments make that 173cm. Russ has taken this analogy and worked out what the height would be should a man of 5’8” (173cm) be sitting in a wheelchair. His exact figure came out to be 136.5cm however as Russ explains the addition of 0.5cm would make the recommended wheelchair dartboard height easy to remember 137cm (wheelchair) - 173cm (Standard).

This new height for wheelchair users was recognized by the WDF on October 8th 2012. The fisrt World Disability Winmau' Masters took place in 2014.
