1. A vitals target apparatus for measuring a shooter's shot accuracy, comprising:
a plurality of concentric vital zones, each vital zone indicating the vital area of a target item to strike for a shot at up to a specified shot distance; and
a plurality of amulets, the amulets being the area between two vital zone outlines, the amulets representing the difference in grouping size of a plurality of shots corresponding to the shot at different shot distances;
wherein a first amulet corresponds to a first shot distance and a second amulet corresponds to a second shot distance different than the first shot distance, and the smallest amulet within which the grouping size of a plurality of shots by the shooter represents the maximum distance at which the shooter can reliably strike the target item in the vital area with the shot.
