When you land on 161

161 is a three-dart finish — you will use all three darts. Start with T20 (60) to bring 161 down into double range, then follow the route to the bullseye (50). Set up cleanly so a missed dart still leaves a makeable double.

If you miss

Going at the bull to finish? Slip into the single bull and you are left on 25 — a one-dart finish next visit, or split it (9, then double 8). Miss the bull entirely and you stay on 50 for your next dart.
