Putting up a dartboard board on thin wall

I just find them so ugly on the wall (my opinion)- and also; it just adds even more weight onto the wall

Weight is not a problem, you don't need a massive piece of timber. How it looks is obviously a personal thing. If the wall is painted, dart holes will look awful IMO, but if it is papered with a fairly busy design, the misses may not stand out so much!

I suspect D&D. It is likely picking up the far more dense lumps of solid adhesive. This also makes sense if it's an exterior wall, as these are likely to be solid block (probably thermal blocks) which is what you really need for D&D.

I think you need to decide where exactly the dartboard is going, and whether to add a backing board. Again, please let us see the mounting points on the board. Then it'll simply be a case of drilling a hole through the p'board using a normal bit, but of a small enough size that can be increased if needed to suit different fittings. You'll then know what's behind the p'board!

If it's a smallish gap - ~10mm or so - then it's D&D. Your options then increase to drilling in to the actual block wall behind - could be very easy if it's thermal - and using a plastic plug.

Anyhoo, report back as soon as you drill the hole and examine it.
