English term or phrase: aim
A basic axiom of targeted marketing communications is to “aim where the ducks are flying.” In other words, rather than shooting a gun wildly in the air and hoping that a duck might pass by, a duck hunter increases his or her odds of downing a duck if she or he refrains from shooting until flying ducks have been identified.
