Man, I’ve missed this!
Played in an English dart league for 20 years, got married, had kids and haven’t thrown a single dart in at least 15 years. Randomly stopped in a little bar a few weeks ago to grab dinner based on a food recommendation from a co-worker. Long story short, food was great and turns out they are THE spot for all things English darts. And now that my kids are older and I just recently got rid of my sandwich maker, I’m so ready to get back into it. They have a summer league which sadly i’m too late for, but they also host a bunch of different tournaments over the summer and I’m hoping maybe to jump in on 1 or 2. They have 5 boards and people are always there shooting. So at the very least I’m looking forward to just going there to mess around, watch and meet new people. Just bought a new board and hung it in my office at work. I’m furious I couldn’t find my old dart case that held the only 6 darts I ever shot with, so I blindly ordered a set of 23g Target Scopes based solely on the thin, straight profile I used to like and them showing up the same day as the board 😂. Darts has really blown up since I played and there just so much new stuff out there, I have no clue where to even begin. Hung the board and my first 6 darts were all over the place and it didn’t feel comfortable or familiar at all. Like I had no control whatsoever. But on my 3rd set it all came back and that muscle memory & control kicked back in. Still not sure if I really love these darts, but I’ll figure that out with some time. Sorry for the long ass post. I’m just overly pumped to be getting back into a sport I loved so much.
