Aiming & Alignment

Aiming & Alignment

Line up three points on the same axis: your dominant eye, the dart tip, and the target zone. Closing your other eye often helps you see this line more clearly.

Fix your gaze on the target, not on the dart. Your brain will self-correct if you give it a clear, precise focal point — aim at a spot, not just "the 20 area".

When starting out, aim for the bull or the single 20: these are forgiving zones that teach you to repeat the same action consistently.

Tip · Aim at the smallest target you can. Aim small, miss small; aim big, miss big.
