A target is a something you want to hit, like when you shoot a bow and arrow.

“Moving Target”

Are Jonathan and Anna having target practice?

Last month, the boss said the first person to get 100 new customers would get a $1,000 bonus.

And now he tells us we need to get 200 before getting the bonus money!

It’s just not fair.

Target is something you want to hit or a goal you want to reach.

So, a moving target is a goal that keeps changing.

Some people use this trick to make a goal harder – or even impossible – to reach.

It’s really hard to hit a target if it’s always moving!
