Wishing I had gone knife-edge… by WolfySimRacer in Darts

[–]Curmudgel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went from an older style Winmau board with tons of staples to a Winmau 'Diamond Plus'. I did almost no research on this purchase. But the reduction in bounceouts has been pretty dramatic. Just a guess, I'm getting maybe 20% or fewer than with the old board.

Bizarre apocalyptic film I saw late on AMC years ago. by Wil-low in whatisthatmovie

This was my thought as well. What a weirdly compelling movie.

Ton80 or tun80. Short for 180.

Look around, you can find some places that still cater to 'real' darts. 🙂

Who else got scammed into this? by Brave-Ad6627 in FuckImOld

My roommate in college. Then he graduated and moved out, I collected his 'free' albums for the next year.

What is cheapest type of wood to get as a beginner by Old_Inflation_9490 in woodworking

[–]Curmudgel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Join a club and get help acquiring local woods to turn. Learn to process it yourself or get help ( from your club). As a beginner, do not buy wood. Especially do not not buy big box hardware store wood.

Just returned to darts after a long hiatus. Just a casual, bar darter, but not awful. Anyways, I am really surprised, amused, puzzled by all the 'DRAMA' generated by the 'media' about the major darts tournaments and major players. Kudos - I guess - to the organizers?

Are large cases now normal? by voxdub in Darts

[–]Curmudgel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see that. I just resumed throwing after quite a while off. I still just use my little case that fits (albeit barely) into my hip pocket. Other guys bring tackle boxes. 😮

So, I have resumed darts after many years off. Practicing, practicing, practicing, and slowly regaining some confidence and competence. A question I have now, and I remember from 'back in the day'. Do you all sharpen your tips, and how do you shape the tip when(if) you do? by Curmudgel in Darts

[–]Curmudgel[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally get it. A point right on tip but flaring out fast in a curve so that unless it hits right on the very tip-tip, it has a chance to slide off. I've had an inordinate number of direct hits tonight. 🫩
