"To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first, and call whatever you hit the target"

"The odds of hitting your target go up dramatically when you aim at it."

While the following don't actually use the word 'target', they are good references

  • "A miss is as good as a mile" implying that if you don't hit the target then it doesn't matter how close you came.
  • "Don't shoot until you can see the whites of their eyes"implies pick your target wnen you can clearly see it, and don't act too soon.
