Archery Shooters Association

ASA 3D practice targets

ASA-style 3D scoring. The layout follows ASA's scoring diagram and photo: two 12-rings diagonally opposite inside the 10, the lower in play for every shooter and the upper scored when called, plus a 14-ring in an upper corner of the 8, clear of the 10, that ASA uses only at special shooting events. ASA describes the 14 as sitting in the upper rear of the 8, and its scoring photo then puts the upper 12 toward the head, so our prints place the upper 12 forward and the 14 to the rear.

Beginner · Colored zones

Filled scoring zones in red / blue / gold so each ring reads at a glance. Best for first sessions, kids, and form work where you want fast visual feedback on hit placement.

Advanced · Line-marked zones

Outline-only zones in gold / white / gray. Cleaner shooting impression, closer to a real foam-target look — best once you know the zones and want minimal visual interference.
