When was the last time you played darts and are you an excellent dart player or…

 ….do you have a lot of little baby holes in your wall from playing the darts?

    I used to love playing darts (went through many a dartboard), but I haven't played since my rotator cuff injury .  Il have to see if I can still play.
    When I did, I hung a large piece of cardboard behind the board so as not to put holes in the wall... not that I ever missed, mind you.

    Sure, sure, never missed :) I bought a dart board a couple of weeks ago for my Rec room and I am addicted to the game now. I have a foam thingy coming from Amazon to surround it cos my walls are a mess already from playing. Hope you get to play again soon, It’s so much fun.

    I’d be happy with being average at it. I’m not very good at it yet but I decided I will be good at it by about 11pm tonight or I will burn the dart board in the morning.

    The foam rectangle with a big hole in it? I’ll think about it.

    It has been a few years.  
    We hung an old cover behind the board so no damage. 

    No...I was not good. But no embarrassing. 

    My BIL is a champion. He has a bunch of trophies for darts. Even played in some touraments in Vegas a few times. 

    Wr gpt him socks witj dart boards on them for Christmas one year. (All he would tell me he wanted was socks)

    I’m still at the embarrassing level but that’s fine. Dart Board socks sounds like a good gift for a darts champion :)

    I havn't been in a dart game since before the coronviris but I have a board here and  I throw darts at it a few  times a week. I also have a old set of metal tiped lawn darts I sharpened  the tips and l throw them at my garden dummy. I had a listen to your video it's pretty cool and though it sounded Canadian. Cheers and happy weekend!

    I ruined a lot of darts by missing the board completely and hitting the corrugated iron wall of the shed it was on.
    You've heard the expression "couldn't hit the wide side of a barn"? I can't hit the wide side of an aircraft carrier.

    Same, I played all night Friday and I’ve only gotten worse. Some how I ended up having one bounce off the board and land near my couch that is up against a different wall. I’m gonna end up killing someone if I keep playing.

      *In case of my untimely demise in a supposedly “purely accidental” way, note to any law enforcement or investigative agency tasked with looking into it, please use the above post as evidence of pre-planning a flimsy defense strategy. Whatever you do, DON’T let her have me cremated, valuable clues could be lost. Also, she forged my signature assigning her as beneficiary on those life insurance papers that pay out $85,000 in the event of my death. Grrrrrrr.

    Why did I even marry you? Bump that life insurance up to a million and then you may come play darts with me.

    It's been around 10 years.  When I was little my friend, who was a boy a couple years older than I, had a dart board in his room.  At that age I thought that was about the coolest thing in the world and was sure when I was grown I would let my kids have a dart board.  Well, they got the velcro foam ball version.

    Lol :) Velcro ball version isn’t a bad idea for a kid… or a walking calamity like myself :)

    . That set me thinking.. My goodness, it must be nearing 50 years ago, and I was never good at it!

    I was in a circle of ex-school friends who'd meet in pubs on Saturday evenings for a few pints and if possible an informal game of darts or skittles.

    I never played in any of the local pubs' league teams.
