The ASA uses a scoring system of 14, 12, 10, 8, 5 or 0 points per arrow.

Scoring is based on zero points for a miss, five points are earned for a hit anywhere in the body, eight points for the largest outer scoring ring on the animal, ten points for the five-inch circle inside the 8-ring, and twelve points for the smaller rings which are offset to the bottom and top of the 10-ring. Another circle housed in the upper rear of the 8-ring is the 14-ring which is reserved for special bonus competitions.
