  1. A skilled darts player.
    • 1945, Henry Gibbs, Blue Days and Fair:
      Dartists stood grouped before the two boards in the public bar, the counter full of elbows, the tables crowded.
    • 2003, Gerald Eskenazi, A Sportswriter's Life: From the Desk of a New York Times Reporter:
      So while a "bull" (as the dartists term a bull's-eye) is nice, it is as difficult to hit the narrow red or green strips circling the board and that have different point values.
    • 2003, Mat Coward, In and Out, page 31:
      He'd assumed that the Hollow Head's dartists would all come from the area around the pub, or at least from somewhere in the borough of Cowden.
