3-zone sling target

I bring to your attention a 3-zone sling target. I have long wanted to make such a target so that a more accurate slinger can be encouraged to hit the center and closer to the center. Also, such a target allows you to throw from a closer distance, which is also more interesting for a beginner thrower. A round target, in my opinion, better reflects an equal distance from the center of the target. Whereas a square one can bring good luck when you hit the corner of the target. It will be a miss on a round target))

I agree that such a target makes sense for close distances and for judging the accuracy better. Not only because of the circular shape, but also because the balls are caught in the corresponding net. Nice craftsmanship.
But in competition I wouldn´t care what the shape of the target is, as long as everybody uses the same one.
I watched the video but sadly I can not understand your language, so I have two questions:

What are the rings made out of? Plastic tube?

And what is the dimension of your backstop net? I feel that I need one of that size to mount between trees.

Interesting idea!
It seems like in practice there's a slight problem with the balls bouncing on some shots; perhaps the net should be moved deeper in certain areas.
Also, in my opinion, the most prominent ring here is the yellow one, and it's the outer one. It should be the other way around, with the center ring being the most striking and expressive.

It is convenient to fix such a target on ropes. When there is a wind outside, the cloth target swings violently. The mesh allows air to pass through and is less dependent on the wind. This is another advantage of such targets. The size can be made larger or smaller, depending on our desires and capabilities. I have a big Balearic target made of boards and nets, it also hangs well when the wind blows. However, I made it a little smaller so that it would be more convenient to transport it in the subway. Its size is 100x100 cm. And Diana is 40 cm. We held a tournament on such targets.

We conducted this tournament according to the sparring system. All the participants really liked this format. The principle of the tournament is simple. Sparring with everyone. Two people come out and sparring takes place between them. Winning a set earns 2 points. A draw is 1 point. Defeat is 0. As a result, whoever gets 3 points faster in the total of the sets wins the sparring match. As a result, the sparring can consist of two or more sets until the winner is determined. If the number of points is equal. For example, 3x3 or 4x4, then the participants throw one ball each. Whoever got there first won the sparring match.
