What’s Included on This Practice Log

Practice Log Sections

🔥Warm-Up Tracker

Pre-structured warm-up routine with T20, T19, and Bull practice. Track hits out of attempts to measure your starting consistency each session.

🎯Main Practice Drills

Table format for tracking your core drills: T20 practice, T19 practice, doubles, Bull, and checkout practice. Record hits and calculate your 3-dart average.

🎮Practice Games

Space to log practice games like 501 vs yourself, Around the Clock times, and Bob’s 27 scores. Games make practice fun while building real skills.

📝Session Notes

Lined section to write observations, breakthroughs, frustrations, or anything you noticed. These notes are gold when you review past sessions.

⭐Session Rating & Next Focus

Rate your session 1-5 stars and identify what to focus on next time. Creates continuity between practice sessions.

Why Track Your Practice?

Spot Weaknesses

Numbers don’t lie. If your T19 hit rate is 40% but T20 is 60%, you know exactly where to focus.

Measure Progress

Compare this month to last month. Seeing improvement in black and white is incredibly motivating.

Stay Accountable

A blank practice log staring at you is a powerful motivator to actually throw some darts.

Practice Smarter

Stop wasting time on things you’re already good at. Data tells you where practice time pays off most.

How to Use This Practice Log

1. Fill in the session info – Record the date, how long you practiced, and what your main focus was for the session.
2. Complete the warm-up section – Do the standard warm-up (20 darts at T20, 20 at T19, 10 at Bull) and record your hits. This gives you a baseline for how you’re throwing that day.
3. Work through your drills – Pick 2-3 drills from the main practice section. Record hits out of attempts and calculate your percentage or 3-dart average.
4. Play a practice game – Finish with something fun — a solo 501, Around the Clock for time, or Bob’s 27. Record your result.
5. Write your notes – What felt good? What was frustrating? Any breakthroughs? Did you try something new? Write it down while it’s fresh.
6. Rate and plan ahead – Give the session a star rating and write down what you’ll focus on next time.

💡 Pro Tip

Keep your completed logs in a folder or binder. Reviewing them monthly reveals patterns you’d never notice session-to-session.

Sample Practice Metrics to Track

Here’s what good progress looks like for a developing player:

Drill	Beginner	Intermediate	Good
T20 (out of 30)	6-9 hits	10-15 hits	16+ hits
T19 (out of 30)	5-8 hits	9-14 hits	15+ hits
Doubles (out of 30)	4-7 hits	8-12 hits	13+ hits
Bull (out of 20)	2-4 hits	5-8 hits	9+ hits
3-Dart Average	30-45	45-60	60+

Don’t worry if you’re in the beginner column — everyone starts there. The point is to track your numbers and watch them climb over weeks and months.

What is Bob’s 27?

You’ll see “Bob’s 27” on the practice log. It’s one of the best solo practice games for improving your doubles:

• Start with 27 points
• Throw 3 darts at double 1, then double 2, all the way to double 20, then Bull
• Hit the double? Add its value to your score (D10 = +20 points)
• Miss all three darts? Subtract the double’s value
• If you go below zero, you’re out
• Good score: anything positive. Great score: 200+. Pro score: 400+

Track your Bob’s 27 scores over time — it’s one of the clearest measures of doubles improvement.

📊 Insight

Most players find their Bob’s 27 scores vary wildly at first (sometimes negative, sometimes 100+). As you improve, the variance decreases and your average climbs. That consistency IS the improvement.

How Often Should You Practice?

Consistency beats intensity. Here’s a realistic guide:

• Casual player: 2-3 sessions per week, 20-30 minutes each
• Improving player: 4-5 sessions per week, 30-45 minutes each
• Serious competitor: Daily practice, 45-90 minutes

Short, focused sessions beat long, unfocused ones every time. Use this log to keep sessions structured and purposeful.

Printing Tips

Print a month’s worth: If you practice 4x per week, print 16-20 logs at once

Use a clipboard: Keep a clipboard by your dartboard with a pen attached

Store completed logs: A simple folder or binder works — you’ll want to reference old sessions
