Eric Bristow is responsible for darts as we currently know it. Did so much for the sport by turning it into a career choice for so many people, and even trained the best player in the world. Shame about Dartitis and his later life but he was a top bloke
No one knows! Kids have throw rocks and what ever at targets throughout history. Adults would take those ideas and toys and make better games out of them. Darts probably evolved out of spear throwing then to bow and arrows then to small sharp sticks.
What is now known as lawn darts is what started darts..horsemen would throw under arm at there enemy..and practice on logs ..this is where darts started and not archery at all..they came after
Any activity that takes skill or involves competition is a sport dumb ass! There are physical sports and mental sports and sports in-between which darts is.

Though often repeated, the claim darts started with English archers is unverified and unverifiable.

Darts is NOT a "sport"! And the players are NOT Athletes!
And this channel is spoiling darts sophistication.

Shut up
Going by the most simple definition of a sport, darts qualifies no doubt. "Athlete" is questionable
So, how about Shooting etc..?.they're Olympic sports. What's difference?
