Lets be honest who has hit one? I can get in amongst the 140's but that 180 is proving a little tricky. I only play for fun but it would still be nice to throw three perfect darts.

Once, and only in the privacy of my own home, and a long time ago, never replicated in a game.
Me, but having been a county player, so I should!!!
Hit my 1st one at 15 years old, 36 now. Seemed to take ages to finally hit the 1st, but they seem to flow after you've hit the 1st.
Get a small glow everytime I hit one and can only compare it to the nice feelings strikers talk about everytime they hit the back of the net.

I've hit five in thirty years. Two of which were in the same match, which I still lost.
My best is a 140 - several years ago when I used to play regularly but only for fun and beer.
I have had a 60, 57, 32 finish which made me happy - and my playing partner too!
But I have had a hole in one at the 6th at Lingfield,which was much more enjoyable.

149 - funnily enough my highest finish ever in a league match. There is a highest outshot of the season trophy and the league isn't a great standard - usually anything from 110-120 wins it. Sod's law that same season some kiddy hit a 170 - didn't have a clue what he needed and had to ask after each dart what it was - unbelievable! I'd argue 149 is a harder shot too as it's 3 completely different parts of the board!

Only started playing darts in 2015 and it's fair to say I'm not blessed with natural talent. I can score quite well, picking up a few 100's and a 140 but my finishing is terrible. Almost always end up on double one which takes me ages to hit.
Thankfully the mate I play against can't finish either.

Twice, once at work, during a lunch hour break and once in the 'Hervey', I think it was called, a pub in Kemptown.
The first one was great as I was surrounded by work mates etc.
The second was on a New Years Eve, my opponent and I were the only two in the pub.
I was p****d out my brains, having got two sixties I slurred, 'shall I get another one?' and did.
The landlord got all excited and made me sign in his '180 book'.
He then poured me a free pint, which I sank in 2 or 3 gulps and I then stumbled to the pavement outside and emptied the contents of my stomach in to the gutter.
Great days.

Twice and both in practice. Very poor considering I used to be a fairly good club player. For a few seasons, I was disappointed if I didn't hit a 140 in the 3 legs. But a competitive 180 alaways eluded me. Darts is very much a mental game. I played for the A team once and was fine until they picked me for the singles - my game fell apart and I got what I always called Dartitis but was really just nerves. I could let go of the darts but at completely the wrong time and my game fell to bits.
I recovered enough to be a good Div 3 player but moving to Hastings meant I couldn't drink and that finished my game. I've barely held a dart in 10 years. But a lot of my minor claims to fame come from darts. For a while, my doubles partner was (a) Phil Taylor (Stonemason, actually). Another partner was a ladies county player and partnered Dennis Priestly to the Eastbourne Open mixed doubles. And my favourite one was playing Big Cliff with John Lowe and Keith Deller watching. I walked into my club to see them practicing on our board for the Eastbourne Open next day. I opened up with 81 against Cliff who said "Ah, serious are we?". Bang bang bang and 12 darts later I was shaking hands. Had a very good chat with them about the breakup with the BDO which was happening at the time and listening to them, I will always be Team PDC. If a Super League player played with or against a PDC player at the tme, they were banned from the Superleague. Olly Croft in full childish mode.

Got a dartboard in our kitchen and when I'm cooking I often chuck some arrows while waiting for things to cook and I did hit a 180 a few weeks ago, and all in the left corner of the bed. Needless to say I left the darts stuck in the board for a good few days.

Nope. Only ever got 140's about 10 or 11 times. There is a bloke in my darts team who's son is 7, that has been playing for years, he has hit 9 180's and often beats his dad, he has the board at a height relative to his size and stands at the adult oche. A champion for the future I think. He knows all his checkouts and can chalk the score. He gets up early before school to practice, and plays all the time.

Hit loads, with both left and right hand. It's not a brag, it's the result of too many hours spent pubbing and playing darts in my youth. Used to play super league in the Reading area during my time in the forces. Hit a couple of 170 finishes as well. If I'd spent as much time trying to make lots of money as I did at the oche, I'd be living in some island paradise now with glorious palm trees and the sun beating down
