| Hi there! I was told about this site from someone at a tourney a couple of weeks ago and thought I'd check it out. I was really impressed with how active the forum is, and how friendly the members are, so I felt I had to join!
A little about myself: I'm a fairly new darter... just picked up a dart in January of this year when a co-worker convinced me to join a local league. I figured... drinking beer and throwing sharp objects - what could go wrong?? I was hooked immediately. Joined Flight School in February and I don't think there has been a day since that I haven't spent at least an hour in front of a dart board!
Name - John Kirchoefer Age - 36 Nickname - None Location - Fort Collins, Colorado, USA Darts Used - 22g Unicorn Sigma 950 Favorite double - 10 Highest Checkout - 170 (1 time during a practice game - I'm convinced it was a fluke. Never gotten better than 130 in league) Least Darts (501) - 12 Least darts (Specify, 301, Cricket etc) - 8, 301 DIDO Favorite player(s) - Newton, Whitlock, Wade, Barney Favorite drink - Fat Tire Ale Favorite food - Curry Hobbies - Cycling, darts, and a little more darts. After that, probably darts. Oh, and throwing sharp pointy things at the wall. |

| Thank you all for the warm welcome it is much appreciated! And those stats are just one-time personal bests that came out of the blue in a short flash of brilliance... my actual day-to-day darts are a bit more mundane I think. After 10 months and many hours of work I'm sitting on a 25-27 dart average 501 and just a touch under 3mpr in Cricket. My first major goal is to get to a consistent 24 dart average, but I think there is still a ways to go for that! In any case, I'm finding that I'm just really enjoying the journey, and that's the important thing, I think. And Dirty G, I would definitely recommend Flight School. It it amazing and truely gives results. George knows what he's talking about! |

| Hello everyone, I am a new member from Canada who is just in a fun couples league here and enjoys the sport very much. Never shot a 180 in my short career but hoping to someday. I am amazed at the amount of dart companies and also the amount of gorgeous darts. Over here in Canada we don't get to see the sport televised much and we get the crap gouged out of us to buy a half decent set but I have been watching ebay and doing some deals with A180 to build my collection of weapons of mass destruction lol. In fact it was on ebay that I found out about this forum and look forward to many pointers to get my 180. Thanks |
