    This is my little escape from the world. Using the board I got in Lidl a year or two back and it is still going well. Similar in style to the flat wired boards made by unicorn but the only downside is the large thick outer bull ring but for the price I cant complain. It is perfect for practising on..

    They were on offer two Christmases ago I think? My memory is poor these days... (the hip flask on top of the cabinet is not the reason! ) I have not seen them since.

    I rotate it regularly and it has done me well, next purchase is a pro trainer or the likes.

    I moved my board to the sitting room 8 months ago as it was in my office and wasen't practicing enough in there so I now do use the board a lot more as I have dartpro on the laptop which is a very good help in practicing..

    with this surround;

    Old thread dug up but a good one. Has been quite here lately. Poor pic but this is my new set up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 561 ✭✭✭minty16


    Where can the practice boards be purchased? Big fan of Matty 84's board.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,828 ✭✭✭Healio


    Next boards tournament in objj52's gaff. Some set up, i probably wouldnt ever leave!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 58 ✭✭objj52


    Cheers Lads , Healio , I would mind mate but the missus might lol , Right The Practice board was got in Brenfers ( I know they are robbery but i couldnt wait) lol

    Was noticing a lot of Parctice rooms have white back ground was thinking of changing the decor in my room for a Black and silver, with black the main colour behind the board . have this idea that it may help concentration on the board without the glare of the white , Well that and the Missus wants it done lol

    Any thoughts lads let me know and no slagging the Pool lol

    Here is the setup since I moved to the Chicago suburbs. Still trying to get the house organized (and we have been in it for two years next week).

    That's actually just one small section of the basement. The total square footage is @ 5000 sq feet. It's definitely a change from the 600sq ft we were living in while in Artane.

    It's definitely a comfortable setting for throwing darts.

    I like it. I have had it for about six months, and haven't had any issues with it.
