Question Hanging a dartboard

[Access Denied]

So I got the darts bug and purchased a dartboard. Just the board, no cabinet as my aim isn't that bad. It hangs on the wall by way of a screw in the back that slots into a small bracket attached to the wall by two screws. It's a plasterboard wall so I'm asking the DIY buffs here what I need to use as obviously this needs to be able to take the constant weight of the board. Do I need to use any specific plugs or will standard rawl plugs do the job?

I would remove the plaster and build a proper wall with bricks and stuff.

i lived in an 80s house for 20 years and those walls drove me nuts.

Buy a pig fastener.
It just a big screw that digs into the board with a little screw for the bracket.
Easily hold a dartboard.
Or if youre paranoid theres butterfly ones that open up behind the board...but you need a bit of space there for them.

Rawl plugs will fail.

@Job's solution is OK, but tbh a couple of heavy duty wide picture hooks on a standard rawl plug should be fine, I've got pictures much heavier than a dartboard hung on those. Good explanation here (I'd actually figured this out for myself years ago).

The pigs are great because you just screw them in..only screwdriver reqd.
