What is a multi-colored target face used for?

A multi-colored target face serves as a standard visual aid in both outdoor and indoor target archery competitions. The different colors on the target help to define scoring zones, allowing archers to see where their arrows have hit and the corresponding score for each area. Typically, the innermost zone, often colored gold or yellow, carries the highest points, while the outer zones decrease in value. This clear differentiation ensures that both archers and judges can easily determine the score after each round of shooting, fostering a fair and standardized scoring system. The structure and color arrangement of the target face are essential for the organization and regulation of competitive archery events.
