Thanks lefty.

This is my friends set-up at his shop.

For those with an eagle eye you will recognize Eric B in the pic next to the board.

He just got done thrashing my buddy in the finals back in the late 80's.

Dartmaster III. Those are nice!!!!

that's a really nice setup

bump for new members

Here's my setup. Itsmounted to a board, that i've set up to hang over the kitchen door (limited space everywhere else!) and to save the complaints of the masking tape i used to use for the oche, i got probably my favourite bit of darting kit, the laser oche.

Looks like a good setup mate. Is the laser oche any good then?

Its great, easy to setup and the batteries last ages too.

the only down side is that you have to look where you are putting your foot, rather than pressing up against a piece of wood.

Looks great and the Blade 4 is a great board too!

I like mucho

Thought i'd posted my set-up here before but obviously not........ anyway, here's my throw!

Looks nice, but that's an awful shadow ya got there.

You have just the one light on the right side?

yeah, i know, its an awful shadow....kitchen spotlights turned as much towards the board as they would go!

might see if i can rig a spotlight that will clip onto the door too in the future, but at the moment i can live with the shadow... just!

awesome goofy, damn want come over and play ya lol

Built this set up last weekend. Had half of a ping pong table I used for the backboard and used two layers of cardboard for the ring. Tried to use a track light that had been sitting in closet for years, but somehow I broke two out of the three lights, so that will be next weekends project.

Next time I will make the ring longer at the bottom,missing board frequently on bottom numbers.

Looks good shrek and good use of the cardboard for the ring.

As far as the bottom numbers go, if you are having problems when switching down for those numbers then I would suggest you add something to your practise sessions where you go purely for that area of the board.

As an example, instead of playing games of 501 or 1001 where you try to hit 180's down to the finish, just use the bottom numbers - ie 19 and 17. This will give you a lot more confidence when going down the bottom of the board, and because of the numbers involved it will also help your maths if you're not great at counting (I'm not implying you can't count btw - this is a general suggestion to help anybody who can't lol).

Nice work Shrek!

Good Suggestion there Mike.

Is that one of those unicorn dart holders? looks like it works well.

Yeah unicorn on tour, great job all comes down in seconds. I have two screws to hold on frame. Mighty job

neat little invention that!

I am partial to the swivel chair set up where you can just spin around and throw a dart and see where it lands. I enjoy having the ability to switch the type of darts to throw with a corresponding board from modern, vintage, wooden and soft tip. I also have the luxury of selecting 30 plus bristle boards with different types of looks and games like golf and poker. Life is good.
