Chapter 3 of 6
The Throwing Action
Raise your forearm until the dart is level with your eye. Your elbow stays high and pointed at the target — it acts as the hinge of your throw.
Only your forearm moves. Draw back to load the throw, then drive forward to release. Your upper arm stays virtually still throughout.
The action should be smooth, not forceful. Speed comes from the natural release of the movement, not from brute strength. A dart is delivered, not hurled.
Tip · If your elbow drops or drifts to the side, the dart will veer off. Keep it steady from start to finish.
