Woo! On the dart practice rings page there was a competition leading up to their release to win a free set signed by eric bristow. Had to answer a triva question about who Eric beat in 84 world final---dave whitcombe 7-1, and I won! woooo! Will post a review when they arrive!

Nice one - well done Vallyr - look forward to seeing the pics. I guess this must also mean they are now out.

yeah, i haven't looked at the site recently, entered back in august, but I seem to recall that they were supposed to be out by the end of sept.

I had a look and there is an update dated 27th September as follows:

Well done Vallyr!

I ordered mine a while ago still waiting for them.

24 days more. talked to him

yeah, i'm still perfectly happy using the ones i made out of wire and tape. Don't think Ill actually use the bristow ones too much especially since they are signed. Going straight to mantle above the fire place!

Guess I just don't see the point of these practice rings??????????

Nice! how do you feel the rings work? i mean there are so many targets on the dartboard already how does adding a few more improve your game?

it helps like on a double or triple it forces you to just focus on a segment of it rather than the entire double, and focus on grouping them tighter together.

Looking forward to the review....well done mate

Congratz Vallyr. Nice prize that.

Interesting. Maybe I'll make some home made ones and give them a go

They look like they could add a bit of fun to practice and there is a couple of games that you can play with them I do believe. And I suppoz that you could play with a handicap against weaker players to.

Well done on the win

we still waiting on them

jimbo i have my owen version of rings not quite the same but just rubber o rings and some pins from cheap as chips mate i feel has improved grouping a little but have only used a few times but a lot of my problem is i think i try to hard

I had thought about using o rings, but I may try and make some out of whippa snippa chord that I have which is too thick for my snipper.

You can use bits of paper too or even make some cardboard rings?

My fav is a picture of someone you hate and try to pick their eyes out.

lol i have done this jimbo with a exgirlfriend i kept hit her boobs my bad lol

I have been using my daughter's pony tail holders. I take a small sewing pin and pin the circular hair accessory to the areas I am practicing on.
