Definition
打靶 is a separable verb (离合词) meaning 'to shoot at a target,' typically used in military training or recreational shooting ranges. You can insert measure words or duration between the two syllables, e.g. 打了三次靶 ('shot three times'). Note: the standard pronunciation is dǎ bǎ, though the source pinyin here is recorded as 'dá' — likely a typo.
