Why aim for the bullseye
The bullseye (50) is special: it is the only one-dart finish for 50 and the heart of every big checkout — 100 (T20, the bullseye), 110, 167 and the famous 170 (T20, T20, bull). There is no double to slip into, so it is an all-or-nothing target. Strong players go at the bull only when the maths leaves no friendlier double, then commit to it fully.
If you miss the bull
Going at the bull to finish? Slip into the single bull (25) and you are left on 25 — a one-dart finish next visit, or split it (9, then double 8). Miss the centre entirely and you stay on 50 for your next dart, so a clean miss never costs you the leg.
Tips for hitting the bull
- Aim small: pick the exact centre, not "the red", so a tight group still finds 50.
- Keep the same routine you use for trebles — the bull rewards a repeatable action, not extra effort.
- If two darts at the bull miss, take the single bull to leave 25 rather than forcing a third.
