Target Darts Omni Auto Scoring System Hits the Mark

Target Darts Omni Auto Scoring System Hits the Bullseye for Tech-Savvy Players

I never liked playing darts, but I did a complete 180 with this auto-scoring system. This gadget has ignited my newfound love of the old pub favorite. It’s a light ring with four hi-def cameras that slots onto your board. Connect with the DartCounter app via Wi-Fi and you get effortless automatic scoring with an announcer calling your points and telling you what you need to check out.

I’ve been testing the Target Darts Omni Auto Scoring System for the last few weeks, playing locally on my own and with family, and playing the odd match online. It’s a pricey system, but for darts fans and players looking to improve their game, it could be worth the investment. As a casual fan, I’ve found that a wee game of darts is a great way to unwind at the end of your day.

Stepping Up to the Oche

The Target Darts Omni Auto Scoring System pairs with the DartCounter app (Android or iOS). It’s quick and easy to put together, attaching to your board via magnetic legs, but you will need to run the power cable to an outlet. Connect to Wi-Fi, run a short calibration, and it’s time to play. I tested with Target’s Star Wars Millennium Falcon Surround and Dartboard ($200 or £150) and a set of Darth Vader Darts ($340 or £250)—both amazing Star Wars gifts for the fan in your life—but it should work with most boards and any darts.

The LED ring lights up the dartboard beautifully. The four HD cameras accurately record the score for each dart thrown. The DartCounter app compiles comprehensive statistics on your play. You can configure all the match parameters in the app for a tailor-made session, and there are also multiple practice modes and games, such as Around the Clock, where you have to hit each number in sequence and then the bull’s-eye, and Bob’s 27, where you start with 27 points and have to hit the doubles shown.

Online multiplayer is perhaps the biggest selling point, and you can find matches or create your own lobby in the DartCounter app. I never had any trouble finding a match, and there were well over 100 live matches in progress every time I checked. You get three free online matches every week. To unlock all the features, including tournaments, unlimited online games, more detailed stats, and the Master Caller using your name, you must subscribe for $6 a month or $40 a year (£6 and £40 in the UK). You get a three-month free trial with the system. Local play is free, with the exception of a couple of games (121 Checkout and Halve It), so you don’t need to subscribe.

I’ve played loads of games over the past few weeks, but I had the most fun playing a tournament with my brother. We had a dartboard in the garage when I was a teen and spent hours throwing darts, but neither of us had played in years. After much hilarity at how inept we had become and plenty of reminiscing, we both got our eye in, and things became competitive. I won the best-of-five classic 501 matches, but then my brother beat me at Around the Clock (I got stuck on the bull’s-eye).

Is the Omni Worth the Price?

At $650 or £399 for the basic system, the Target Darts Omni Auto Scoring System is definitely an investment. For serious players looking to track their progress and compete online, the features and convenience could justify the cost. The automatic scoring eliminates arguments and speeds up gameplay, while the detailed statistics help identify areas for improvement.

However, for casual players who just want to throw some darts with friends, the subscription model might feel like overkill. The free local play is limited, and the most engaging features require ongoing payments. That said, the three-month trial gives you plenty of time to decide if it’s worth the investment for your dart-playing habits.

Final Thoughts

The Target Darts Omni Auto Scoring System has transformed my opinion of darts. What was once a game I found mildly interesting has become an engaging pastime that I look forward to at the end of the day. The technology is impressive, the setup is straightforward, and the gameplay is addictive.

Whether you’re a seasoned player looking to take your game to the next level or a casual fan like me who’s discovered a new hobby, the Omni system offers something for everyone. Just be prepared for the price tag—and the potential for your friends to become just as obsessed as you are.
