How to measure dartboard height and Oche (throwline) distance. 

this whole time i was standing about a foot too far away. now darts feels 10x easier 🤣

Technically, the bull is 5' 8" from the floor where you stand. If the floor isn't level, I don't know if the diagonal is correct. I always thought it was 9' 7 3/8" on the diagonal. a^2 + b^2 = c^2. 5' 8"h 7" 9.25" l = 115.4" diagonal. You can check the height from the oche with a water level. Kind of a pain in the ass, but if there's concern due to an uneven floor, that is the way to do it.

I've got the same dartboard. Mission Samurai II 🎯 I love it! ❤️

thank your very much sir

I need to ask. Should I push in the dartpoint all the way in the dartboard thru the measurer or not? (the zoomed in example in this video isnt, that is why i'm asking)

I have the Winmau oche measure and it's wrong by over 10 mm as I have measured it alongside a steel measuring tape. The first cm starts about 12 mm away from the hole you put your dart point in .

I found an old dart board collecting dust not sure what kind it is but i know its older than me im 34😅

Im 5,10 but when im measuring 173cm the bull is way above my head to the point where i need to extend my arm WAYY to much to reach treble 20, anyone know a fix

Always use the diagonal marking as it is a common mistake to mark the 2.37m distance from the wall and not a point that equates to a mark on the floor level with the the face of the board. if this is measured incorrectly, oche distance is too short. (even on diagram in video this is not clear).

I’m 14 how far should I stand

Hi, I have a question. You said 293cm but quite a few sites and the instruction leaflet on my dart board set are saying 237cm. Sorry I'm new to darts and just setting everything up so not sure. Can you please confirm?

The measurements only work if the floor is level, if the floor at the throwing mark is half inch higher or lower than the board then the height of the board and distance throwing will be wrong....
