How far to stand from dart board

Setting up a dartboard at home needs careful attention to the height you set the dartboard up at and the distance you set the throw line. People place too much focus on having the dartboard setup look good (which is of course important, we all want a professional setup…) but get the height and distance wrong. 

This means any practice will have minimal carryover to a competitive game because you’ve got used to throwing at a specific height or distance and this is what your muscle memory will be based on.

Below is the correct dartboard height and distance:

Dartboard height (measured from the center of the bullseye to the ground) – 5’8in (1.73m) from the floor

Dartboard distance (measured from the front of the dartboard) – 7’9-1/4in (2.37m)

Read on as we cover the correct dartboard height and distance for all dart setups and guide you on correctly setting up your dartboard at home.
