Love the darts, got a pdc subscription to stream all the players championship etc but more importantly I’ve had a dartboard for nearly a year and hit my first ( and probably only) 180 yesterday, then hit 26 again 🤣🤣 I’m very partially sighted so can’t really see where my darts are going but I play for fun and enjoy it.

What a feeling to get the first max well done mate! What set up you rocking ? I’ve only got into it myself since last November and been heavily addicted, do you use DartCounter?

No I don’t, I just got an app where I can play drones at different levels. Might look into having a set up to play online but right now I’m OK just messing around, I don’t get on the board as much as I would like as spend a lot of my spare time on my guitar, I’m about as good at that as I am darts, man of many talents and a master of none. I take it you have a set up to play online? Do you consider yourself a handy player?

I’ve got the whole shabang, threw myself completely into it and am obsessed, trying to make it my alternative to drink / drugs, doesn’t help it’s played around alcohol! I’ve got a free DartCounter pass you can have if you want & I’ll happily add you for some games if you fancied

Darts is/was my winter sport. I have an allotment and a gardens that take up most of my free time the rest of the year.  
My board is on the back of the kitchen door which looks like it has wood worm with the amount of holes in it from when i first started.  
Used to play while cooking and drinking now its just while cooking.  
My darts are just a £30 set from Argos Target Hydro swiss point. They will see me out.

These are 22g, I changed the points to slightly longer ones. I originally bought these for my son but he wasnt allowed a dartboard in his new house that he was renting at the time so I got these and his new board.  
I used to use dart counter on his lap top as its ideal as a training aid. Played cricket and around the clock in doubles but never really get the spare time to play as much as Id like.

Bought some RVB tungston 23g and changed the points and flights, luke littler cabinet and board but the board was shit so replaced it with a blade 6 and my trusty bully.

I’m having a bit of an upgrade but I’m on holiday next week so when I get back I’ll be installing omni and I’ve now got a years worth of darts counter so yeah we’ll have to hook up and play some sober darts.

I’m just Paul, not sure how to put friends in it yet but there must be hundreds of Paul’s

Paul Dales, that’s probably what it is.

I’ve been on it a few times and as much as I love it it does make mistakes on the scoring is this normal? And I don’t know if the outer ring is a distraction but I was never great in the first place but now I’m even worse, maybe it’s the pressure of playing real people. My Ave is 35 but last night I hit 100, 100,96 and still lost. Next game I was back to my normal 26, 15, 45 🤣🤣
