A bull's eye is the name given to the very center of a target. If you hit the bull's eye you have scored the highest possible.
Figuratively, people will say they hit the bull's eye if they really succeed at something. For example, a man might say he hit the bull's eye when he got a good job at a large, profitable company.

It is the center of an archery or darts target.
The phrase can also be used for expressing precision (like the precision needed to hit the center of the target), such as "We friends tried to predict the final score of the football game, and Joe's guess hit the bull's eye."

The term orginates from the famous dart throw. The center most portion is called the 'bull's eye'.
However, in general, it is a term for a perfect shot or hit on or in something. (Could be from a perfect shot while hunting or throwing a paper wad into a waste basket.)
