Dart Forums
or message boards, or whatever you call them. We now have a place where anyone can go to chat with other darters about anything really. You can find it here . . .
I know it’s the “off season”, but I wanted to have something in place now so when the fall comes around, and players are looking for leagues, tournament directors are announcing events, and home shooters are wondering if anyone else shoots “darts like these”, we’ll have a place to meet online.
We’ve been averaging a couple of hundred visitors a day to the site, so if you’re running an event, it’s a good way to get the news out. and it’s easy to post recaps, and even pictures of the event to share with everyone who lives outside of driving distance.
The forums will replace the newsletter. Actually, when I started collecting names from people interested in receiving a newsletter, I thought it would be nearly 100% from Pennsylvania. Instead, there are people from South Carolina, Virginia, Texas, California, UTAH, and points in between who have been shooting American Style Darts. But, it was hard to put together announcements that would be interesting to everyone on the list.
Now, if you live in Florida, you won’t have an email landing in your box telling you about a dart tournament in Upstate New York. BUT, you will have a place to go to kindof keep track of the action, and tell others of your darting exploits.
The new dart forum is also set up so that members can add photos, either to their posts or to their own personal page. So, you can have a photo album online. Leagues can have pictures of their champions, or more colorful characters. People can post pictures of their home dart set-ups. That’s something that I’m looking forward to, actually.
I just got the finishing touches on the forums yesterday (well, there will probably always be more touches you can add), and no one has signed up yet, so if you’re looking for a chance to be the first to do something, this is it!! sign up and leave a “hello world” message, and you’ll be poster # 1!

I just did something for the first time that I’ve never seen done before…
I use a set of darts that have a small hole in the handle. While shooting another dart to the board it landed IN the hole of the dart already in the dart board. What are the odds of doing that?!?!? Has anybody ever done that before? My husband could not believe it when he saw me do that. Feel free anybody to email me back about that at THKLOTTWIZ@aol.com
HI,
Today I just received my American Baseball Dart Board by USPS. I also got my first dozen Darto Patriot darts. I have not played any dart game since I was 18 and joined the United States Air Force for 4 years. Before this, my step-Dad taught me to play baseball darts, starting when I was about 15 years old. He was in a bar room league and has been shooting darts for many years. After about 6 months, he said I was getting pretty good at it and he would like me to be his ‘partner’ in a friendly dart game at the local bar. They played often there and would have their own friendly games and prizes as to who bought the next round of beers, and in my case, peanuts and a Pepsi. I enjoyed those days. We won a lot. My highest ever game was a 62. I ended up beating my Dad on a regular basis, but then joined the Air Force at 18 yrs. old as I said above. I am retired now and live in Port Saint Lucie, Florida. I am interested in playing again. I have the time now. Can these forums help me find others in my area? Thank you. — Joe –
Terry - i think the odds of that are pretty low. Pretty low indeed.
Joe - i’ve been sending boards to florida since the beginning, and i’m not quite sure what the dart scene is like down there. but yes, the american dart forums are probably a pretty good place to start looking for some shooting mates.
