Bob's 27

What it trains

Double accuracy across the full board and mental resilience.

Rules

1. Start on 27 points.
2. Throw 3 darts at D1, then D2, then D3, up to D20, then bull.
3. Hit within 3 darts and add the double value. Hitting D5 adds 10.
4. No hit in 3 darts means subtract the double value.
5. The game ends if you drop below 0 or complete the bull.

How to score

Your final score.

Done when: You finish positive after D20 and bull.

Target: 400+ is strong intermediate level. 600+ is ready for expert work.

Variant

Dart tip

Often works best with a 24g to 26g straight barrel and a smooth release.
