| Well done again to last weeks winners, x2v and Fox180 - as Fox had picked the challenge this weeks is brought to you by 'The Banner King' x2v! Now this is a challenge: Using 3 darts, you must try and hit each outshot starting 61 through to 170. You only get one chance at each finish, even if you miss. keep note the successfully hit ones. Then add up all the accomplished checkouts and that will be your score.
So, If I managed to take out 84, 135 and 150 I would score 369.Let's hope we have as many challenger's this week as we had last week, good luck everyone LEADER-BOARD:The Fox180..............1752Hatrick......................1719Rebel....................... 1185Hamo........................1031

| Sounds tough, I predict my score as follows = 0 Very interesting challenge though, and a great one to practice with. |

| I don't think we will get as many in as last week simply because it will take a bit longer but hopefully I'm wrong. I'll give it ago anyway. Will be good practice for the doubles everyone |

| I think it totals approximately 102 visits to the board, so not as long as it looks. And the best thing about this challenge is that you don't have to do it all at once. You could start with 61-101 then continue with the rest at a later time, maybe even splitting it into 3 sessions.

Exactly how I plan on doing it. |

| Just finished my go, phew, thought I would never get there. Decided to do 20-25 a time at the end of my 30mins practice, starting with 61 and finishing just now with my attempt at 170.... I'll save the suspense, I didn't hit it! In fact I didn't hit much the last 2 sessions, my highest was shanghai, 120. Anyway here's how I got on, did very well to start but struggled at the end, not all done the conventional way and most 2 dart finishes used up all 3 darts but they all count as they say: 61, 64, 65, 67, 75, 79, 80, 82, 90, 92, 97, 101, 112, 120 = 1088A great score I thought, until I realised its only 14 (small) finishes out of 102. Got close to a few big ones, missing doubles but happy with my attempt. Last couple of days to get your scores in, Cheers |

| Cheer Mac, like I say, I think it helped that I attempted a small amount at a time and at the end of 30mins practice when the arm was loose - I'm pleased especially knowing I was pretty close to some of the big ones too, not something I normally practice but will do at least a couple of times a week now to vary it, enjoyed this one but wont be having another go. |

| I started this one like a train but ran out of steam and my last sessions killed me. I'm still well pleased as I know in myself that the darts are there in patches and i'm feeling myself improve.......not as much as I would like,but I'm getting there. Anyway....mine breaks down as follows; 61, 62, 63, 64, 68, 72, 73, 80, 85, 94, 97, 105, 107 = 1031 |

| Cheers Rum Very similar to my attempt Hamo, I did great when I had the spare dart but once I got on the 3 darts finishes I suffered big time - cracking score non-the-less. |

I'll definitely start this tomorrow, I might even do it in one go. |

| I just did all at one go.. It wasn't so bad. Once you get to the outs where you have to hit a treble 1st it goes pretty quickly cause if you dont hit it you just pull your dart and move on to the next one, plus there are some of the outs that you cant take with three darts. Here's my go at it it's the least I could do since it's x2v's challenge and he's made all these wonderful sigs for us.. 61,63,65,68,69,70,76,91,93,94,100,103,106,112,117,120,144,167= 1719 Cheers, |

| Well done Hatrick Hahahaha, only kidding, great arrows there sir, puts you top of the Leader-board with a day and a half to go. Like Hatrick says, it doesn't take as long as it sounds like it would, plus it is great practice, go on have a quick go and see how you get on. Cheers, Greg |

61,62,63,64,65,66,67,68,69,70,71,73,75,94,101,130,135,137,140,141 = 1,667

| I hope the subtracting is better than the addition on here. I counted rebel to have 1185 and fox to have 1752 both gave yourselves less than yous deserve. That's my good deed for the day done as it puts me even further behind. (how bad would it be if I had miscounted now) |
