I just bought a dart board and my right elbow is sore from playing. Any suggestions on what games to play? tricks on hitting the bulls-eye or getting a double? the right way of throwing?

I'm not picking it up. I'm not going to touch it. Could you imagine the mess he's made if he's made his elbow sore?jimmy p said:from playing what? OoOoOoOhhh..."darts" eh? :tongue: is that why your arm hurts...aim for the bull. I can't go on, I am thinking of too many innuendo's. I'll leave it to tribdog if he feels like picking up.

If you are playing a game where you have to close out numbers and bullseye to win, shoot for the bullseyes first because you may miss the bullseye, but hit a number you need, whereas you almost never miss a number you are shooting at and hit bullseye.

To properly set up a dart board, you will need to hang it on a wall or use a dart board stand. The standard height for hanging a dart board is 5 feet 8 inches from the floor to the center of the bullseye. Make sure the board is securely attached and level to avoid any safety hazards.
There are several types of darts available for dart boards, including soft tip and steel tip darts. The type of darts you should use depends on the type of dart board you have. Soft tip darts are designed for electronic dart boards, while steel tip darts are used for traditional bristle dart boards. It’s important to use the correct type of darts to avoid damaging your dart board.
Improving your aim on a dart board takes practice and patience. One tip is to focus on your stance and grip, making sure you are standing at the right distance from the board and holding the dart correctly. Another tip is to aim for specific areas on the board, such as the triple 20 or bullseye, to improve your accuracy.
Yes, you can use a dart board in a small space as long as you have enough room to safely throw the darts. The standard throwing distance for dart boards is 7 feet 9.25 inches, but there are also smaller dart boards available for tighter spaces. Just make sure you have enough room to stand and throw without any obstructions.
There are a few different ways to keep score on a dart board, depending on the game you are playing. The most common method is to use a scoreboard or keep track of the score on a piece of paper. Some electronic dart boards also come with a built-in scoring system. It’s important to familiarize yourself with the scoring rules of the game you are playing before starting.
