Kill/Kill Zone

In 3D archery, the kill refers to the central scoring zone of a target animal figure. This zone represents the vital area (heart/lungs) of the depicted animal and awards the highest score.

Typical scoring zones:

• Kill zone (usually the highest score)
• Vital or inner ring
• Body zone

Depending on the association (e.g., International Field Archery Association or Archery Shooters Association), the size and scoring may vary slightly.
