Instructions

1. Measure the space for your dartboard. Plain boards take up less space than boards in a cupboard or cabinet.

2. Choose a dartboard style, enclosed in a cabinet or hung alone on the wall.

3. Decide on the size of your target area. Different dartboards vary in target area size. Bristle boards have 13.5 inches, while electronic boards have a target area between 13 and 15.5 inches depending on the board.

4. Consider your darts. Bristle boards require steel tipped darts, while soft tipped darts are for other types of dartboards.

5. Think about game choices. Electronic and arcade dartboards teach players different types of dart games.

6. Find your look. Dartboards come in all colors and designs, and some dartboards are custom made with specific designs and colors.

7. Consider special features. Some dartboards offer sound effects and voice recording options.

8. Buy your dartboard. Some dartboards come in a package that includes all supplies for the game.
