true aim

Bullseye every shot

True aim is the ability to hit exactly what you're targeting, whether with a weapon, a thrown object, or figuratively with words or actions.

Someone with true aim rarely misses: The archer's true aim split the first arrow down the middle.

The phrase emphasizes precision and reliability—not just hitting the target once, but hitting it consistently.
