Victor misses first target (5)
I believe the answer is:
inner
'target' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for inner that I've seen before include "Internal - mental" , "Nearer the middle" , "Good shot at archery" , "may not satisfy this man" , "closer than magpie" .)
