How it's used
While referring to physical targets in sports, this word is also frequently used metaphorically to describe someone who is the focus of criticism or blame. When someone is being singled out for attack by a group, they are often described as being a 靶子. It is rarely used in isolation and almost always appears as part of a compound noun like 箭靶 or 槍靶.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 標靶, which is often used in medical or scientific contexts to refer to a biological or strategic target, whereas 靶 is strictly for physical shooting or archery practice.
