Most of my practice involves using Eric Bristowe rings on the dart board on areas that I need to improve or try to consolidate on!
The best practice for me at the beginning of my career if you had a partner was to play these following games all at once!
High (highest score with 3 darts)
Low (lowest score with 3 darts)
color (pick a colour and try hit it e.g red, green white black)
101
201
301
shanghai (use any number taking turns to hit treble double single, first person to hit them all wins)
killer
bull (closest bull wins)
bull 2 (Throw all 3 darts and eliminate whoevers is furthest away each round)
hoops (try hit the inside of one of the closed numbers e.g 10, 14, 8 etc but all 3 darts must be in, this can be a great laugh as you can knock other players darts out as they get cramped)
Around the world 1 (3 lives going round 1,2,3,4 etc winner is furthest person bull included)
Around the world 2 (clockwise around the board, 1,18,4,13 etc)
Around the world 3 ( blacks only clockwise e.g 18,13,10 etc)
Around the world 4 ( whites only clockwise, 1,4,6 etc)
Around the world 5 (1,2,3,4,5 hitting small singles only - the bit between treble and bull)
Line (pick a number e.g 20 then hit the opposite number and bull to make a line) so it would be 20,3 and bull or 1,19, bull etc
Line 2 (same but use doubles
Line 3 (same as above but use trebles)
250 points (countdown from 250 hitting only bullseys and 25)
ADDING (throw 3 weak hand darts and you have to try checkout that score)
7 targets (pick a number e.g 20, you have to hit outer board 20, d20, high single, t20, low single 25 and bull)
501
1001

This is just one of my old practice routines but it worked immensley well for me, GL for those who try it!
