Example sentence(s):
  • Hitting a target with a handgun bullet not only requires a bit of hand-eye coordination and small motor skills in your fingers and hands; but also requires understanding point of aim (POA) in regards to point of impact (POI).
  • Definition of point of aim : an auxiliary mark or marker at which a target archer sights the arrow so as to achieve correct elevation.
