Anyone Here Play Darts?

never heard of this game "darts" that you speak of

I play skin tip darts with your mom

A league here in Dallas does.
I'm pretty sure that's there's a league in Nola that does too.

It's a game only for elite athletes. Hope you are in good shape.

Seriously tho, you ever see the dart comps from England/Ireland on tv? Hilarious and very well attended.

I've never seen darts on tv. I'd mostly be playing to just hang out and drink beers at the bar during the week and socialize away from the wife. Not looking to go pro or anything...I enjoy darts more than pool.

When we were kids, my friends and I threw darts at each other. Does that count?

They have huge pubs, beer gardens packed with looks like 1,000 people all drunk cheering the dart players. Its cool to watch actually.....

I play in a local league here. Steel tip darts is kind of a dying thing; insurance, pool leagues, and electronic soft tip darts have really cut it down. Shreveport/Bossier leagues had dozens of teams from D-division to A, now so few play that divisions are combined. I personally bought and installed the dart boards, scoreboard, lights, and toe lines at the bar I frequent just so I'd have a decent place to practice. As far as equipment, I wouldn't spend much until you've gotten a good idea on weight and barrel style that suits how you throw. I have a set of 27gm Gold Widows as my main set and cheaper 27gm Unicorns as a backup/lend set. Get a good dart case though, if you start playing regularly you will need spare parts on hand.
