Omi nods and offers Konzen one of the darts. "I'll throw first, but I want you to take this one now so I can show you the best way to hold it."
Once Konzen's grip on the dart properly matches his own, Omi gets back into the throwing stance he showed him earlier and, as with the Frisbee, draws his throwing arm back to the inside.
"Most people will throw overhead for a game of darts. It's a more natural throw for this range, but you get much more distance throwing this way. That's why I want you to learn this style."
But since they don't need much distance at all for this throw, there's no need for a fast, forceful sling of the arm. Omi moves steadily and smoothly at about half speed; that's enough to still give the dart some throwing inertia while also being more easily observed.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the incredibly short range, the dart plants itself in the pinpoint center of the bulls-eye. For good measure, Omi pulls the dart from the board and repeats the demonstration. Then he pulls the dart again and steps to one side, offering the prime throwing angle to Konzen.
"Before you throw the dart, spend a few turns going through the motion of it. Pay special attention to where your finger stops. Remember that it's your aiming guide."
