The answer is 10

The answer depends upon the type of target being used.

Some targets will score the bullseye as 10 (Vegas 5-Dot), others as 5 (5-Spot).

It has become common place for clubs to count the inner most ring of the Vegas target as an "X" which is counted separately to break ties among archers with identical scores. So it is not unusual to hear archers call an "X-Ring" shot an 11.

You either have 5 zone scoring, this is where the whole gold is worth 9 points, red-7, blue-5, black-3 and white-1. This is also called imperial scoring.

At most main competitions, you will use 10 zone scoring, this is when the inner gold ring is worth 10 points, outer gold-9, inner red-8, outer red-7, inner blue-6, outer blue-5, inner black-4, outer black-3, inner white-2, outer white-1.

How many zones does an archery target have?

It depends on the type of target. There are more than a few types of targets in the world of Archery, and each type of target has its own system of scoring zones depending on how the target is used. Here are some I have had the pleasure to use:The FITA target, used for the Olympic Archery competitions, has 10 scoring zones, while the target used for the "Imperial Round" in the UK (England) has 5 scoring zones. The FITA and the "Imperial Round" target faces are basically the same, regarding the color division.The Society for Creative Anachronisms, Inc. (a not-for-profit research/educational group dedicated to studying and re-enacting life during the Middle Ages) uses the 5-zone scoring system, but also uses a target which was commonly used during the Middle Ages. This target has only 3 scoring zones - and the center "bulls-eye" is extremely small, compared to the FITA target.

What is the inner-most circle on the archery target called?

It depends on what type of round you are shooting. If its a FITA round there is a separate inner ring which becomes the inner Gold or an X shot, counting as a 10. On an Imperial round anything in the Gold colour is a Gold scoring 9 points. A common mistake is to call an inner Gold as a bulls eye, which is faux pas in archery.
