Aim at goal (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

target

I believe this is a double definition.

'aim at' is the first definition.
('target' can be a synonym of 'aim at')

'goal' is the second definition.
(target is a kind of goal)

(Other definitions for target that I've seen before include "Point to be aimed at" , "Something to aim for" , "What's aimed at" , "bull's eye" , "Objective, mark" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Telegraph.
