["Practice is the part of darts with which most people have difficulty. I ran a survey of many dart people in several countries asking if they practice and how they do it if they do and here are some of the answers: It’s boring; I get frustrated; when I start missing I get angry; I don’t have time; after a few minutes I loose focus; what’s the point? All this confirmed for me that most people do not approach practice in a constructive way."]
[]
["I think this approach to practice is the best of all the things I've discovered about darts and I write extensively about it in “DARTS Beginning to End” because it addresses so many difficulties with which people struggle. I have limited space here so need to talk about the mechanics of the drill but believe this: No matter how hard I had to struggle to finish the last number(s) in a session when I was wiping the blackboard clean I felt good. I did it! I finished the blasted things. Sometimes I'd stand on the oche considering whether I really wanted to shoot that first dart because I knew if I did I could not quit until I finished what ever routine I'd set up for myself. That commitment required that when I began missing numbers I couldn't stop and it was during that period of time I really learned how to be a dart \"shooter\" more so than a dart player."]
[]
["Truely knowing my stroke, learned during the this type of a  practice session, combined with having learned how to switch from frame to frame, section of board to section of board, and having done it so many times, allowed me to punch out the end of a good three dart out as often as I did and will for you too."]
[]
["Spot shooting is an integral part of “Accuracy” and should be understood. I write about it and there is a technique in Flight School which explains it."]
[]
["Unlike the “Group Darts” drill, “Accuracy” practice is not timed, it is goal oriented. You will establish a given set of object targets and not quit the practice session until all have been hit the required number of times."]
[]
["Your practice will consist of hitting a set of numbers five times each within a loose time frame you choose. Before you head to the practice board you will have to commit to finishing the session. You must discipline yourself to get through the whole session, all the numbers, all the hits. The timing is merely a gauge for about how much time you want to devote. Never play against the clock. Never play against yourself, in any form."]
[]
["Set up a score board with doubles and triples which you think will take about the length of time you have decided to devote to practice. In the beginning you will be guessing so start with six numbers. You can adjust the quantity as you get used to the regimen and learn how many numbers you can close within the time you’ve given yourself. I suggest the numbers you pick be the ones you most often need to hit while competing, i.e.: scoring triples, Cricket triples, outshot doubles or setup triples and put them in order so you must move to different parts of the dart board with each target change."]
[]
["My recommendation goes like this. "]
[]
["Quantity: Set up how ever many numbers you think you can knock out in between forty and seventy minutes."]
[]
["Specifics: Start with the numbers you most often need to hit during competition, which would certainly include the T20, at least once. These will include scoring and cricket triples and out doubles. If your list is long enough set up primary doubles and their line doubles in order. "]
[]
["Here's a suggested beginning list: 60, 57, 40, 20, 54, 32, 16, bull (either SB or DB)."]
["If your list is longer or as it gets longer add cricket and set up triples to the existing list. "]
["A longer list would look like this: 60, 57, 40, 20, 54, 32, 16, bull (either SB or DB), 42, 45, 24."]
[]
["A list which will take you out to where you may be ready for the \"Perfecting Scoring\" drill: "]
["60, 57, 54, 40, 20, 10, 32, 16, 8, 36, 18, bull (either SB or DB), 42, 45, 48, 24, 12. "]
["Keep your time for practice the same: around an hour - forty to seventy minutes."]
["Keep your list the same all the time and expand on it as you get better at knocking them out within your time frame."]
["Don't worry about having every number you'll need to hit during competition in your list. "]
["The relative position on the board of numbers and incorporating spot shooting will develop your ability to switch from quadrant to quadrant and inner board (triples) to outer board (doubles).  "]
[]
["Procedure: You will progress through your list of target numbers in sequence. When you hit a target number you immediately stop shooting for that target and move on to the next in line and in that manner loop through your list. Each loop through your list will diminish the number of hits remaining to be made. Example: If you have ten numbers in your routine it will take 50 hits to finish your session. Each hit made will diminish the number of hits remaining until there are none left. Each loop through your list will diminsh the number of targets remaining, as you hit the goal of five hits, until there is only one left. Begin with the first number target with your first dart. If you hit it shoot for the second number target with the second dart, if not, continue at the first number target until either you hit it with one of the three darts of that turn or run out of darts. The object is to use left over darts from one turn, plus the three darts that constitute the next turn, at the next number target on your list if you need them. You can “close” three hits in one turn, or you can blow five darts and not hit the blasted thing at all but you never shoot more than five darts at one number unless it’s the only one remaining. You will end up with the numbers you find hardest to hit being the ones you finish last and shoot at the most. The numbers you have the most difficulty with will vary from session to session. If you have the triple twenty more than once in your list you may end up shooting for just triple twenties at the end."]

[]
["Continue the pattern; delete targets when five marks are made in them; you're finished when all targets have five marks."]
[]
["Good things come from this regimen if you discipline yourself and don’t give up when you begin missing. Stay with it, think about your stroke and what is not working. You will learn to “feel” the shot. Great stuff. Think about concentration, focus on a particular spot within your target double or triple. Your object is to finish the numbers, so finish them. When you stretch yourself you will learn why you miss. You will learn how to overcome what ever is interfering with your accuracy."]
[]
["You will find you need to add numbers as your accuracy improves and you will be able to see yourself getting better. You need to be patient with yourself, it takes time and the improvement is incremental."]
[]
["As a guide: I used to finish 14 numbers in 40 to 50 minutes when I was really at it. Sometimes I’d get toward the end of the session well ahead of my allotted time and get stuck on one or two numbers. I just couldn’t seem to hit them and that would add 10 to 15 minutes of struggle and agony. That was where the learning really occurs. That is where the disipline to mentally regroup and recover your stroke is developed."]
[]
["Take this to the bank: playing with friends is not practice for your stroke, it is playing the game and getting better at it, granted, but it is no substitute for genuine practice."]
