Which statement about the 12-bull AR 4/10 target is true?

• A. The sighting targets are located in the center of the target and enclosed with a guard ring.
• B. The sighting targets are located on the outer edge.
• C. There is no guard ring on the sighting targets.
• D. The target has no required center ring.

Answer: (A)

The design being tested is where the shooter looks for the aiming reference on the AR 4/10 target. The sighting targets are placed right in the center of the target and are surrounded by a guard ring. This setup gives a clear, confined aiming point and a defined boundary so scores are read consistently. Having the sighting area in the center with a guard ring helps distinguish hits near the middle from the outer scoring rings and prevents ambiguity in judging whether a shot was aimed at the sighting target. If the sighting targets were on the outer edge, or if there were no guard ring, or if the target lacked a center ring, the aiming reference would be unclear and scoring could become inconsistent.
