These archery targets, sanctioned by a prominent archery organization, represent a standardized system for competitive target archery. They feature a distinctive five-color, ten-ring design with decreasing scoring values from the center outwards. A typical example would be a target face used in a formal competition setting, adhering to regulations for size, color, and ring scoring.
Standardized targets facilitate fair competition by ensuring consistent scoring across various locations and events. This consistency allows archers to track progress, compare scores, and compete on a level playing field. The historical development of these scoring systems reflects the evolution of archery from a hunting practice to a precise sport, demanding accuracy and consistency.
