If so, you have come to the right place.

Darts is a game enjoyed the world over, on both sides of the ocean.

Maybe you are just flat exasperated at your inability to hit what you are aiming for.

If any of these scenarios sound familiar, fret not.

Generally speaking, there are two types of darts: steel-tip darts and soft-tip darts.

Steel tip darts are used when playing with a standardized cork dartboard.

For these types of dartboards you will need to use soft-tip darts.

Both steel tip darts and soft tip darts can be made using a variety of materials.

The cheaper and less hearty darts are usually made from plastic.

Plastic darts tend to be very light and must be thrown fairly exactly so you can hit ones mark.

Plastic darts usually are equipped with screw-in soft-tips, which are also made of tough plastic.

Other materials used to make darts include aluminum and of course steel.

Aluminum is very lightweight, but the darts can be weighted if one wishes to offer a better throw.

These darts can be either soft-tipped or steel-tipped.

Plastic darts will last longer and can help get you through some of the rough patches in your game.

Also, be sure to purchase a lot of extra tips.

These tips are very affordable and will come in handy when your tips begin to break or bend.

There are essentially three main target areas on the dartboard, not counting the bullseye area.

On the far outside of the board is the double ring.

Moving inward about one-third you will find the inner or triple ring.

The bullseye in darts is located directly in the center of the circle.

On all regulation dartboards there are two rings in the bullseye area.

Here are just a couple tips you’re gonna wanna follow.

The first of these is to lead with your elbow.

This will help ensure you are shooting at the proper level and prevent you from missing high or low.

The next thing you will need to do is sight up your target.

This will give you the best opportunity to hit your mark.

Resist the temptation to rapidly pull your hand back and bring it forward as you would on a throw.

This will totally mess up your aim.
