When you land on 86

86 is a classic two-dart finish. Throw T18 (54) to leave 32, then double 16 (32). You will often see 86 after a strong opening visit, so it pays to know the route by heart.

If you miss

Your finishing dart is D16 (32). Slip inside to the single 16 and you are left on 16 — finish on double 8. Miss outside the wire and you stay on 32 for your next dart, so you never lose the double.
