The center ring, or bulls-eye, is 4.8 inches in diameter. There are nine concentric rings around it. Scoring ranges from 10 points for a hit on the bulls-eye to 1 point for a hit on the outer ring. The most common are the FITA and the Olympic rounds. In the Olympic round, the range is 70 meters.
Judges announce the score after each end.
The top eight archers enter the semi-finals, where each shoots just 12 arrows, cutting the field to four. Each of the four finalists then shoots 12 arrows to determine the final placement, with the top three scorers taking medals. The U. S. national target championships uses an FITA round followed by an Olympic round. The FITA round determines seeding for the finals. In indoor competition, the ranges are shorter and targets are therefore smaller.
