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.
