Dartboard height & oche distance

How it works

1. Choose steel tip, soft tip or wheelchair.
2. Pick metric or imperial.
3. Enter how far the face of the board sits out from the wall, so you can measure the oche from the wall.
4. Hang the board so the centre of the bull is at the height shown, then mark the oche at the distance shown.
5. Use the diagonal, bull to the front of the oche, to check both measurements.

Steel tip uses a bull height of 1.73 m (5 ft 8 in) and a throw of 2.37 m (7 ft 9¼ in). Soft tip boards usually use 2.44 m (8 ft). Wheelchair darts commonly uses a bull height of 1.37 m (4 ft 6 in) with the standard steel-tip throw. Check your league's rules if you are unsure. More in our board setup guide.
