As last weeks winner Neil has chosen the new challenge, this is a proper challenge and while similar to the last challenge could have a few of us pulling our hair out!

"Round the board on doubles - you are only allowed to throw one dart at a double.

Example - first 3 darts you throw dart 1 at D1, dart2 at D2 and dart3 at D3..

Lets say you hit D3 - next 3 darts would be - dart1 at D1, dart2 at D2 and dart 3 at D4

Lets say this time you hit double 1

Next three darts would be dart1 at D2, dart 2 at D4 and dart3 at D5

So you only ever get one shot at a double

At the end when you only have one double left, you only throw one dart at it - then fetch it back until you hit it

The score is the number of visits it takes to finish the game

Its a tough one!!!!"

So, lets see who can hold their nerve and temper, especially with the last double!. Good Luck

Also remember, the winner gets to pick next weeks challenge and also one of these for their profile:

Nope - no bull

Just had a go

20 visits..... there you go folks - have a bash

31 - subject to clarification/confirmation lol

With 3 darts in my hand I had 2 numbers left to hit - 18 and 20 - I am right that I only throw 2 of the 3 darts aren't I?

If I did it right it was quicker than I thought it would be - I got stuck on D3 for ages - I can normally hit it with either my second or third dart, but in one dart it's difficult lol

Correct. I was left with just double15 and I only threw one dart at it then went and fetched it back - 1 visit.

Thanks for the confirmation Neil - I just had another go and got worse lol - 38 throws this time

I Like this challenge alot Neil!!! My 1st go at it yesterday and could barely miss a double. Done it in 17 trips to the board!! Well pleased with that Very Happy

It seems that my game is finally coming back around again as I was in a pretty bad spell there for about 2 weeks..and just in time too my 1st comp of the season is coming up this weekend up in Cananda.

Hat hatrick

Hoping to have a crack at this tomorrow.

Neil, this is a great challenge you have picked. How many times do you only get 1 dart at the double. I think this may become a regular routine for me.
