Circling the bullseye is a bright green ring, slightly larger than the center. Outside the green ring is a red ring, broader than the previous one. The largest and final ring is a vivid blue, taking up the most space on the target. The circles are outlined in bold black, creating clear boundaries between the colors. An arrow is piercing the center of the bullseye. The arrow shaft is black, thin, and perfectly aligned with the target’s center. It is topped with detailed feather fletching.
