I have recently attempted to signed up to flight school but have been advised George is taking a well deserved break.
Is there anybody that is kind enough to advice me of the a1 routine? I have no structure when I practice currently and somewhat frustrated. I have read a lot of positive comments on here regarding this routine so intrigued. Smile

From a prior thread response from George
I've resisted doing this for too long, so here is a hint.
Straight from the A1 Drill instructions: I've underlined sections which seem to be misunderstood.
Procedure: You will progress through your list of target frames in sequence, shooting three darts at each target single. All three darts at each target bed every time.
The object is to stick two darts, at least, in the target single.
When you hit a target single with at least two darts place a mark on the score board next to the target frame you just hit and with your next set of three darts play for the next target frame on your list. If you stick the first two darts in the target bed
you are free to do the same with the third although the turn still counts as one hit.
If you miss with the first two darts stay with the target to at least get one in it.
If you do not stick at least two darts in the target single abandon that target frame for that loop through the list and play your next set of three darts at the next target frame on your list.
Continue through the list of target frames marking the ones in which you stick at least two darts.
When you mark a target frame the fifth time delete it from your list.
Continue looping through the list as many times as required to hit all target frames five times.
When you are able to consistently finish all the target frames in little more than five rounds through your list, across several days of practice, you are ready for the next level of drill.
Target frames are usually 13-20

Its IMO the greatest dart book ever written. It tells you exactly what you need to do not just fluff like most books.
