dartboards
Circular throwing targets
Dartboards are circular targets used in the game of darts, divided into numbered sections with varying point values.
The standard board has twenty wedge-shaped segments, with higher-scoring bullseyes at the center: We hung a dartboard in the basement.
Figuratively, something becomes a dartboard when it attracts repeated criticism or attack.
