Tri-City Herald: Darts for the troops...
Tri-City Herald: Local: "Darts for Troops aims to give soldiers piece of home
Published Saturday, June 24th, 2006
By Aimee Chou, Herald staff writer
As John Prescott flicks a steel-tipped dart toward a bulls eye, he thinks of soldiers in Afghanistan playing darts on their downtime.
When an Army sergeant posted a memo that landed on a Richland-based darts resource Web site in late March, Prescott saw a way to help Americans in uniform. He was inundated with a couple hundred responses when he suggested in a sewa-darts.com forum that dart enthusiasts donate dart supplies.
The result: A dart drive, dubbed Darts for Troops, which has raised nearly $2,500 worth of supplies.
'I'm hanging out at the bars doing darts, and (soldiers) are getting shot at,' said Prescott, a masters-level dart player from Pasco. 'It's the least I can do.'"

I got involved in darts when I was twenty-four years old, pretty much by accident. I started playing at a friend’s house and then joined a league.

planet darts: Barney.... his lucky... were taken
Barney Appeals For Missing Darts
RAYMOND van Barneveld has appealed for the return of his lucky darts after they were taken from the Reebok Stadium stage where he won the Budweiser UK Open on Sunday.The Dutchman, widely recognised as one of the best darts players in history, had just won the £30,000 first prize when his darts were swiped from the stage by an over-enthusiastic punter.
And van Barneveld has made a passionate plea for the three darts to be returned, claiming he doesn't blame the fan who pinched them.
"Normally I wouldn't mind, but these darts are special to me, van Barneveld said.
"I don't blame the fan who took them, everyone was very excited and there was a great atmosphere - whoever it was must have just been caught up in the heat of the moment.

The Rhinelander Daily News: "Top Flight: Cleveland wins at Worlds
Rhinelander dart player earns professional status at Bullshooter Challenge
Throwing darts is one thing. Throwing them accurately for fourteen hours a day for three days straight, is another target entirely.
“That was hard,” said Rhinelander's Pat Cleveland on a late-May competition in Chicago. “I've never had to concentrate that long before. It was exhausting.”
But well worth it.
Cleveland became Central Wisconsin Dart Association's first World Champion after he finished first overall in the Top Gun Triples with Lane Helgeson and Carolyn Nessman, both of Mukwonago, and went on to earn pro-status after competing in the Bullshooter World Challenge of Champions, May 25-29, in Illinois."
Rhinelander dart player earns professional status at Bullshooter Challenge
Throwing darts is one thing. Throwing them accurately for fourteen hours a day for three days straight, is another target entirely.
“That was hard,” said Rhinelander's Pat Cleveland on a late-May competition in Chicago. “I've never had to concentrate that long before. It was exhausting.”
But well worth it.
Cleveland became Central Wisconsin Dart Association's first World Champion after he finished first overall in the Top Gun Triples with Lane Helgeson and Carolyn Nessman, both of Mukwonago, and went on to earn pro-status after competing in the Bullshooter World Challenge of Champions, May 25-29, in Illinois."

But “The Iceman,” who did not take up darts until he was 21, believes he could make a living from darts as it enjoys a global boom, though he does not want to give up entirely on his work with drug addicts."
