EXHIBIT A · THE FIST BUMP
THE PEOPLE v. AN UNNECESSARY RITUAL
THE PEOPLE VS.
THE FIST BUMP
A completely unnecessary investigation into one of darts' most accepted rituals — followed by the inconvenient discovery that some of the evidence is actually real.
PRIMARY EVIDENCE
The evidence board.
Same ritual. Different species. You decide.
EXHIBIT B · PRIMATE GROOMING
EXHIBIT C · THE FIST BUMP, AGAIN
EXHIBIT D · THE CANINE GREETING
EXHIBIT E · STILL FIST BUMPING
EXHIBIT F · THE CAT'S RESPONSE
EXHIBIT G · SLAP HANDS
THE INCONVENIENT PART
Some of the evidence is real.
The joke works better when the facts refuse to cooperate.
Hands move germs.
Hands touch darts, boards, bar tops, glasses, door handles, phones and other people. Handwashing remains one of the simplest ways to reduce the spread of germs.
CDC Clean Hands →The throwing hand matters.
A dart player's hand is the instrument: grip, feel, release and control all start there. Constant unnecessary contact is not helping it do its job.
THE HAND HAS ENOUGH TO DO.
EXHIBIT H · THROWING HANDPHYSICAL EVIDENCE
Your throwing hand is not a greeting accessory.
It grips the dart. It controls the release. It repeats the same fine motion thousands of times. The hand has a job already.
CASE THEORY: Save the fist for the throw.
CASE FILE UPDATE · PANDEMIC ERA
SUPPLEMENTAL EVIDENCE
Then everyone wore masks.
And somehow the fist bump survived.

RELATED CASE FILE · THE NOVEL
Just Jack's Game
It started with darts, a bar, and a guy who wasn't interested in the fist-bump routine. Jack's story gets a lot more complicated from there.

What's Jack Up to Now?
The book ended. The projects, naturally, didn't.
01 / THE INVENTION
Building Eclipse.
Turning a BullShooter soft-tip setup into a steel-tip game without giving up the familiar throw line. Aluminum, hinges, brackets, and plenty of trial and error.
02 / THE WORKSHOP
3D printing just about anything.
Replacement parts. Useful gadgets. Things nobody sells anymore. And the occasional print that exists simply because somebody thought of it.
03 / OFF THE CLOCK
Fireball Girl & the Winchesters.
When the tools are put away, there's always another episode of Supernatural to watch with Fireball Girl.
BEHIND THE BOOK
JustPete.
No telling what I'll get into next.
Books. Fabrication. Inventions. 3D printing. Darts, golf, and whatever comes along next. JustPete is where all of it comes together.
Videos, reviews, build projects, recommendations, and more are on the way.
