target zone

Where to hit

A target zone is a designated range or area where something is meant to land, fall, or be maintained.

In fitness and medicine, it often refers to an optimal heart rate range during exercise: Keep your heart rate in the target zone for maximum benefit.

In economics, it describes the acceptable range for currency exchange rates.

Military and sports contexts use it for areas designated for strikes or scoring.
