SightRight works in 4 easy steps to give Perfect Dart Vision so you can
position yourself exactly on the oche time and time again. The patented design
guarantees perfect sighting and, through letting dart players actually see if
they are off line, SightRight prevents sighting across the line aim (like 99%
of TV dart professionals).
Many dart players unknowingly set themselves up at the number 5 when aiming
for treble 20.
Each player's sighting position will be different. However, once you're
SightRight'd, your technique and biomechanics will develop a symmetrical throw
with no side bias on the dartboard i.e. Double 16 and Double 10 will feel the
same.
SightRight straightens up the path of your darts into the dartboard
dramatically reducing blocked doubles and trebles.

SightRight is amazing, it allows me to stand in exactly the right position
every time I practice and I use it everyday ".

Instructions**
1) Centre the SightRight - use the plumb line to get the white SightRight line
centre to the bullseye (See FIG 1). Place the SightRight darts aid with the
lower end of the 'Step' nearest the wall. SightRight is designed
to make you stand in exactly the same place, with perfect dart vision time and
time again.
2) Take your normal position at the oche then look at the SightRight - what do
you see? (See FIG 2)
a) Can you see a broken or kinked line or
b) Can you see a continuous straight white line?
3) Re-position yourself so that you can only see a perfect straight line (See
FIG 3) and start to throw at the treble 20. You are looking to get straight
darts into the board from your new throwing position. Don't worry (yet) about
where they land, just how straight they are, on entry and flight.
4) If you are happy that your darts are straight and you are playing from your
SightRight'd aiming position, continue to play and practice as normal as much
as you can with your SightRight. You may need to re-train the feel and weight
in your throw. The bigger the correction in your sighting and position at the
oche, the more you will notice the difference in the weight of your throw.
TIP: Once your aiming has been corrected, pay close attention to your NEW foot
position at the oche. This will allow you to be SightRight'd when playing
without the aid in competitions, etc.
**What about aiming for doubles**
Once SightRight'd you do not need to move - turn towards the
double/treble/single you want to hit and your body will pivot perfectly, left
or right, like shooting a gun. You will have to train the new weight of your
throw, as you're now symmetrical to every point on the dartboard, as opposed
to throwing from different distances. You will no longer have short and long
'opposite' doubles which makes it easier to hit them. Your darts should now be
straight going into the double bed dramatically reducing blocked doubles. (See
FIG 4)
**My darts are still not straight?**
You're probably still slightly offline technically in your throw and that
needs correcting. Stand more side on to the dartboard until your darts
straighten - your foot may end up at 90 degrees to the oche. The effect of
turning your foot 'side on' will bring your throwing arm into line with your
eyes.
**Darts still not straight after changing your stance?**
Now that you're sighting and technique are perfectly in line, check that your
grip and hand angle are not affecting your throw. Go back to basics - hold the
dart like you would a pen pointing straight down the target line.
**Your back swing and throw**
You may need to control / shorten your back swing to ensure you throw the dart
from in front of your eyes i.e. not from the side of your head. This will help
to develop an accurate throw in front of your eyes and enable you to actually
start seeing along the flight of the dart as you improve. Some players may
prefer shorter shafts to
keep their throw in front of their eyes. The easiest way to get the dart
position in front of your eyes, is to look into a mirror holding your darts.
