How Do You Hang A Bristle Dartboard At Regulation Height And Distance?
Use the measuring tape to measure 5 feet, 8 inches up from the floor. Mark this spot on the wall with a pencil. Place bracket on wall. The pencil mark should be within the bottom curve of the center U-shaped opening. Screw the bracket into the wall. Center the screws in the circular openings on either side of the U-shaped opening. You can use a small level to make sure the bracket is straight or just eyeball it. Turn the dartboard over and use the measuring tape to find the center. Mark with a pencil. (Some dartboards come already marked with a small indentation in the center). Attach a screw to the center of dartboard back. Do not screw it all the way in; leave enough space between the screw and the backing so it can slide into the mounting bracket. Place three rubber stoppers on the back of board, about 2 inches from the edge, roughly equal distances from each other. Place a nail in the center of the first stopper and hammer into place until the stopper sits firmly against the board.
