Dart Board question
ericball:
If you're not already a dart enthusiast I'd recommend starting with a decent dartboard (e.g. Winmau Blade 5 or 6) and a big surround (e.g. Viper Defender III) and some decent high tungsten darts. Make sure you have a good space to set up the dartboard where you won't mind if you miss or get a bounce back.
But more important - find a friendly league to join. I play Friday nights at the local Canadian Legion (open to all, not just veterans). 3-5 players on a team randomized each week, 1001 flying start. (You do not want to double in until you're regularly doubling out.) It's all in fun with great support from the other players.
Practice at home. Start by aiming for the bullseye until you're getting all three inside the triple ring. Then start aiming for the triple 20 or triple 19 and doubles. While the game is about the score, your focus should be on accuracy and consistency.

Thank you for the replies. I did a bit of pocking around and found few online resources including 3D print files for the surround, etc. I will open a new thread in the project announcements once I start working on it.

Granboard has a steel dart board coming out soon that should do your scoring plus allow online play too

Before anyone critique's my board let me preface that I have a bad habit of not finishing projects. This one started out as a prototype with some left over wood that I never got around to re-building the case for the dartboard. It's Grandboard 3s dart board connected to a raspberry pi running Android (Lineage OS) connected to cheap 22 in Sceptre monitor (E22 Series), controlled by an air mouse, using an old pair of computer speakers. Everything is powered via power strip connected to a kasa smart plug for an easy on/off. Plus it has a Viper Laser Throw/Toe Line Marker that's mounted at the bottom of the case and turns on/off with the unit.
