Dart Board

Darts

A game that involves throwing small projectiles at a corkboard that is circular which known as a dart board. Better quality dart boards are made from sisal fibres, this works as the dart only separates the fibres upon entry and technically does not cause any damage. A regulation board is 451 mm (17 3⁄4 in) in diameter and is divided into 20 radial sections which have thin sheet metal strips between them.

The dart game does not have any specific rules and individuals arbitrarily specify areas with their points on the sectioned board. There are pizza slice-like sections as well as circular rings that divide them. Some dart boards have the marking scheme printed onto them.

The darts used to hit the dart board were originally stubs of arrows or crossbow bolts. Today the darts are made from plastic with a metal nail-like point that pierces the dart board.

Comments

Dart boards are for nominal prices generally, unless is a specific high-quality version.

One should be careful while playing darts as the dart itself can be dangerous if it hits a person. Maintain a clear area between the dart board and player. To circumvent this there are also dart boards that have a metal sheet and the darts have small magnets instead of pointy ends.
