How to Throw a Dart

Throwing darts is a game that you usually see in your local bar. Some people have decided that they like the game so much that they have gone out and purchased a dart board and set of darts for their home. It is easy to throw the dart but not easy to get it where you want it to go without lots of practice. Read on to learn more.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Instructions

1. Put the foot on the line that is on the same side as your throwing hand.

2. Spread your feet apart so that your weight is evenly distributed. You do not want to be wobbling when you throw the dart.

3. Put your shoulders back, bend your knees slightly, keep your back straight. Be comfortable and create a slight lean of your body.

4. Hold the dart as gently as you can without dropping it. Try to keep few fingers on the dart.

5. Move only the arm that is releasing the dart when you begin to release it.

6. Use an effortless, flowing movement when releasing the dart. Try not to chuck the dart when releasing. It should be a gliding movement and that means a nice, easy, gentle touch.

7. Apply each of the steps above and try to release the dart the same way whenever you release it.

8. Aim for the bull's eye. This will take practice and precision but if you keep at it, it will come.

9. Practice, practice, practice.

Tips & Warnings

• Darts should never be thrown at anybody.
• Before you throw check to see if the dart's pathway is clear.
