Target Practice

Roles: marksman, target, aim, projectile, hit, miss, precision, scatter, range, bullseye

The domain of aiming and shooting at targets: marksman, target, aim, projectile, hit, miss, precision, scatter. Distinct from war (which concerns combatants, territory, sides, and victory/defeat) — target practice isolates the aiming-and-hitting structure without the adversarial context. The logic is geometric: a fixed point to hit, a projectile launched toward it, success measured by proximity to center. Source domain for metaphors about problem-solving precision, goal-directed effort, and accuracy of analysis.
