I believe the answer is:

archer

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'one bent on hitting' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.

'a target?' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for archer that I've seen before include "stars" , "Missile launcher" , "Arrow shooter" , "Irish parliament" , "Tell perhaps" .)
