Finding the bull's-eye (6)

I believe the answer is:

aiming

(Other definitions for aiming that I've seen before include "Pointing towards a target" , "Directing, a missile perhaps" , "Pointing (a weapon)" , "Directing a blow" , "Pointing towards a goal" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
