In bar darts, how far away would I put the toe line from the board?

Answer 1

The throw line (also known as the oche, toe-line or hockey) should be about 3 feet wide. It may be made of tape, a store bought throw-line sticker, a piece of wood or metal. It should be placed exactly 7 foot 9 and 1/4 inches from the FACE of the board for a standard steel-tipped setup.

For soft-tipped darts, the line should be 8 feet from the FACE of the board. (NOTE: Some British pubs use an 8 foot or 8 foot 6 inch measurement for steel tip darts.)

To measure from the face of the board, have someone hold a plumb line from the bottom-front of the board to the floor. If you don't have a plumb line, you can use a piece of string with a pencil or dart tied to one end. Make sure the throw line is exactly perpendicular to the face of the board and centered with the board.

Answer 2

Height:
5’ 8" from floor to center of the bull’s eye
Throwing Line:
7’ 9-1/4" from the board to the throw line (or 9’ 7-3/8" when measured diagonally from the bull’s eye to the throw line)
Thowing Lane:
Preferably 2’ open on both sides of the board (Darts are sharp!)
Mounting:
The board should be mounted flush to the wall --not leaning-- with #20 directly at the top.




Softip is 8 feet.
