The are you need to hit to score a point is the torso and a little wedge below your waist on the front (where the silver-colored lamé is).
The target area depends on the weapon that you are using. If you are fencing Epee, the target area is your opponent's entire body. If you are fencing Saber, the target area is your opponent's body from the waist up. If you are fencing the third and final weapon, Foil, the target area is simply your opponent's torso. This excludes their legs, arms, and head, limiting it to the chest and stomach region.
Point target is when you are trying to hit a specific point. The area target is when you land within the vicinity of the target.
In foil, the target area is from the neck, down to the groin, but it goes around to the back also.
In fencing, "hit" refers to successfully making contact with your opponent's target area using your weapon. So, "hit in the fencing" means landing a clean strike on your opponent during a fencing match.
The three main weapons in fencing are: 1. SABER Saber involves wearing an electric vest that extends from the neck to the wrists to the waist. All of this area is target. Saber has a large handle, and fencing saber involves slashing at the opponent on the target area, unlike the other two weapons which involve stabbing. 2. FOIL Foilists wear an electric vest without sleeves. All of this is target area. Foil has a small rounded handle. Fencing foil involves stabbing at the opponent on the target area. 3. EPÉE (EH-pay) Epeeists do not wear an electric vest, as the whole body is target, including the feet. Epées have a large handle. Epée fencers stab at the opponent anywhere on the body in order to get touches. All three weapons are the same length, and alike in most ways apart from the ones mentioned above.

The area where a team gets a point is the endzone.
Points are scored in fencing by landing a valid hit on the opponent's target area with the tip or edge of the weapon. Each hit is awarded a point, and the first fencer to reach a predetermined number of points wins the match. In some cases, priority rules may apply, where the fencer who initiates the attack is initially awarded the point.
Point target range is the distance that a trained shooter could hit a target the size of one person. An Area Target range is the distance at which that same shooter could hit some of a group of people.
