In addition, Version 21 fixes 933 errors (see PM4 Known Issues).

Darts (PM4 only) 

The Darts game rewards consistency in stroke rate and power output. You get 300 darts to “throw” in a game and your score is calculated just like a real game of darts. A bull’s eye is worth 50 points and the next three rings are worth 25, 10 and 5 points each. Whether you are a new rower trying to learn how to be consistent or an experienced rower working to get comfortable at a new pace, the Darts game is a terrific tool for you.

Target Training (PM4 only) 

Target Training is similar to Darts but provides even more of a training tool by allowing you to set your targets for pace and stroke rate. Your score will be the percent of the best possible score obtainable. A bull’s eye is worth 5 points, and the remaining rings are worth 3, 2, and 1 point. Target Training offers two options: Just Row for an open-ended target training session or advanced, where you achieve a target pace and stroke rate and hold it for a pre-determined length of time.
