long distance darts

Using javelins as darts and having a game of 501 or round the clock.The dart board is painted on a field and all the usual rules apply.triples,doubles and bulls eye are all painted in proportion. It could be extended to the vast regions of desert and countries use missiles as darts.Sorry.2 ideas in 1.

I could've sworn I read 'fartdart' in the title. Glad this wasn't it.

A game of darts played over a distance of 70 to 80 metres, finishing on a double could be as fun as cross country judo. Lawn darts sounds good but it misses the point of the game of darts.The javelin competitions are boring.Man runs up.chucks stick.sits down.In Fardart man runs up.chucks stick.drinks beer.chucks 2nd stick.drinks a bit more beer.chucks 3rd stick and totals score. I see this taking over from the javelin at the olimpics of 2020.

There's a certain appeal to any sport in which the launching of sharp "pointy" projectiles is mixed with the consumption of alcohol. The potential for injury is mind-boggling. Therefore, I approve.

This has to be a sprint game, played drunk and in the dark. The javelins are painted black and the tails are sharper than an ice-pick.

The last player the skewer himself in the head with the tail of a javelin wins.
