One relatively friendly target? (4,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aunt sally

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

'target?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'one relatively friendly' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'one' could be 'un' (northern English dialect form of 'one') and 'un' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for aunt sally that I've seen before include "One easily attacked" , "laughing stock" , "Family friend" , "Lusty Lana as target of criticism or missiles" , "Target of general criticism, as in throwing game" .)
