Yes, that is it's literal meaning, but the point is that it is uncommon to use female as a noun in reference to humans except when speaking clinically or when chauvinists use it as dehumanizing language. The word "women" is the much preferred option by most women, so the use of "females" in this context suggests that OP may have been speaking derogatorily.

But the logic is still flawed, aiming at the center is the goal, as the most common goal is to improve accuracy, which is to aim at the center, you improve by getting closer and on it, not the area around it. The reward is also different, in both sports and practicing for combat. As it is to train on hitting more accurately and precisely. For more/less points in sports and for better skill for longer distances or precision aiming in combat.

And now we have ignorant people getting upset if more than one person sings the same song. For instance, apparently Angela Lansbury's rendition of Beauty and the Beast is the only one allowed to exist and it's wrong for Shania Twain to sing it in a TV special. Are these people aware of musical theatre and that numerous actors have played the same characters and sung the same songs? A black actress plays both Mrs Potts and Elsa in the Highschool Musical TV series and sings their iconic songs, to the chagrin of ignorant observers on Facebook who don't even watch the show
