(Collins)bull /bʊl/n
7. (chiefly Brit)
short for bullseye
Is it a formal word?
Don't use both "target" and "bull's eye". The bull's eye (commonly written as "bullseye") is the circle directly in the centre of an archery target/dartboard and it's very hard to score a direct hit. It's not formal at all. What made you think it might be?
Nothing. It doesn't sound like a formal word. What [STRIKE]should be[/STRIKE] is the formal way of saying this? What is the proper way [strike]of using[/strike] to use "bullseye"?

What is the proper way of using "Bullseye"?
What are you talking about, Tufguy?! And why, why, why did you (yet again) capitalise a single word inside the quotation marks? It's a common noun, not a proper noun. (I assume that, by now, you know the difference between those.)
We would use the word "bullseye" when talking about a dartboard (or game of darts) or about archery. There is no formal way of saying it. It is what it is.

You're correct that it's not a proper noun. Capitalizing it was a mistake.Okay, I [STRIKE]got[/STRIKE] get it now but there is another thread that is related to sleep. I capitalised "sleep" in it. "Sleep" is not a proper noun. Am I correct?
