This clue might be a double definition.

'a lucky strike at' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both substances as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'archery?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gold that I've seen before include "One of the Magi's gifts" , "Au - metal" , "Wealth; first prize" , "Valuable metal" , "Colour of archery target's centre" .)
