Unbroken flow damaged hunter's target (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wildfowl

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

'hunter's target' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'unbroken flow damaged' is the wordplay.
'unbroken' becomes 'wild' (similar in meaning).
'damaged' indicates an anagram.
'flow' with letters rearranged gives 'fowl'.
'wild'+'fowl'='WILDFOWL'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for wildfowl that I've seen before include "Game birds" , "Ducks etc" , "Grouse and pheasant, for instance" , "sport for guns?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
