I am a thrower angus. I live in Ashland. I have a buddy in Lex that throws in a league there. Check the web for ADA dart leagues for Louisville. Hope that is some help....

Yes. I throw a 26 gram piranha. Here's a great place to shop for supplies. Super fast shipping and cheaper than eBay. Check it out:

I was on a Dart team for about 3 years. We did pretty well. Love the game and even watch pro Darts when one I have not seen is on. Some of those guy's like Phil Taylor seem to hit a Ton80 almost every 5 trips to the board. I was good, but not near that good. :)

I just placed an order with them, should arrive tomorrow. Great selection. I think my darts are only 22 gram, and much cheaper than yours :blush:. I like a fixed point dart not a big fan of hammerheads.

Yeah those guys are silly good, i saw a guy today win two or three legs can't remember with a double bull out. If I get to an even 50 I shoot a single 18. This guy won 6 legs all with triple digit outs...Pretty amazing. I did get 1 Ton80 in league play, and a 9 mark in a cricket game I got a patch for both...Or at least i used to have, My wife has issues with clutter.

Her definition for clutter is....My Stuff :?

I think I saw the same match as you. Was it that Dutchman, can't think of his name, but he is a great Darter. I saw a Collin LLoyd match not long ago where he was really knocking them in too.

In regards to clutter (in her mind) I once had the same sort of issues with my spouse. One day I finally put my foot down in a blow out with her and have remained with this attitude for many years hence. I simply told her, sweetie, I know you do not see all of these nick nacks and decorations as clutter but I do. I don't say anything to you about it because I love and I know these things are important to you. Here is what I am going to do and it is something that will NOT be discussed further. From this day on there will be two locations at this address that are mine and mine only. What I will have in those locations and the order they are in will be exactly how I want them to be at ALL times. Those locations are the spare bedroom which I will arrange to suit me and 1/2 of the Garage in which I will do the same. You will not have a say one about either and all things within are HANDS OFF unless you ask. The rest of this entire residence is totally under your control. That leaves you with over 90% of the usable space in this house and the rest of the property as well to do with as you please. Again, I love you, but if you can't accept this arrangement then one of us will be living at a new address very shortly. And you know I mean what I am saying.

Well her look was priceless for a bit but of course she went into her own list of reasons why I was an idiot etc but I just looked at her with a smile and said, don't believe me? Keep on with your tirade and see how "real" this is. And then I walked straight into the guest room and started ripping off bed sheets. She was furious. :D But, I got my room and Garage and in every relationship/marriage since I have my own space that can't be questioned. Best move I ever made. :) Oh, that marriage ended but not for a couple more years. This may have been a major reason? I think alot of women want and expect TOTAL control. Not happening for me. :)

If you ever do similar I can tell you the biggest complaint you will always get is about the clutter. The one pat answer to this is CLOSE THE DOOR and quit looking at it. My room and Garage are Hands Off. I admit that I am not a neat freak but I am not a total slob either. Neat Freaks creep me out. :)

My wife calls my Dart room/fishing room the Man Pit! And she stays out of it. I to played league for about three years. Lot of fun but I got sick of the obnoxious drunks. Don't get me wrong. I love a good drink or two but I don't want to play with or against people that by the end of a match just about have to be wheeled to the line to throw. So I just throw at home. still love the game. BTW I think the Dutch guys name is Banevelde.

Barnevelde, that is it. Not an easy name to remember. :)
