The world record for the most darts to be thrown within the inner, and outer bull, in one minute is seven. This record is currently jointly held by Winston Cadogan (Barbados), and Anastasia Dobromyslova.
Just wondering if anyone has tried to equal it, or better still beat it during practice? I’ve been trying to beat it today, but, in the end I stopped trying because I thought the neighbours might complain about my bad language.

To try and hit the bull, or the outer bull, seven times or more in one minute. And you must retrieve the darts yourself.

aye it sounds easier than it is . you need to be moving to the board the instant you release the last dart then turn and shoot straight away...... i suck at hitting the bull anyway lol

Well I had this plan. You see I'm 55yrs of age, and I smoke, so I thought instead of running to retrieve my darts I'd go by taxi, and the bloody thing didn't turn up on time.

nice one winny but I dont think the double counts as 2. I noticed you said you got 4 in 3 darts but you can only get a max of 3 for 3darts. Thats how I understand it.
But I think ya still got 9 and it look like you could do better (you droped that dart)
All hail the new record holder
great shooting
I had a go before and was throwing them in like a drunk ninja and running to the board and got 2

The speed of my throw only allows me to shoot about 5 rounds max. And that's pushing things a bit.
I guess I'm Justin Pipe like.

Winmau, 9 count is very impressive! Took 7 tries at it, best I got was 6 on the 5th attempt. 6th and 7th only got tired..
Great job!!

The guy who did it on You Tube was counting a bull as two hits, however, whether it's a bull, or an outer bull, it counts as one hit.
Lovely darts, though, Winmau! And you didn't rush up and down the oche, so if you speeded up just a tad, I think it's in the bag.
As for my attempts, well, I virtually ran up and down the oche, threw my darts very quickly, broke into a sweat, and never came close to doing it....WHO'S THE DADDY HAHAHA???
