Quick move by directors — this target will be hit (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dartboard

'this target will be hit' is the definition.
(something darts are thrown at)

'quick move by directors' is the wordplay.
'quick move' becomes 'dart' (to dart is to move quickly).
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'directors' becomes 'board' (board of directors).
'dart'+'board'='DARTBOARD'

(Other definitions for dartboard that I've seen before include "Target for arrows" , "It's doubles all round" , "Target found in pubs" , "Pub game equipment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
