If the word 'sin' is a symbol of an archer missing his target, then what does the target symbolize?

Truth. I don't mean a "belief" or "beliefs". Society & religion teaches beliefs. Thus a person suffers from a case of mistaken identity. Suffering is sin. They know they don't feel right but most will follow the herd & accept the explanations given by the herd. A few will want to know the truth, thus intent or intend to find the truth.{My answer to your 2nd question}. A sheep with the herd is slaughtered while the goat {solitary one} is free to roam the high plains or mountains. Good questions.

The Greek definition of the word sinner is "one who has missed the mark and does not share in the prize." Thus the word sinner is repeatedly used in the NT to describe persons who have missed the mark by not accepting the grace of God as found in Jesus. It is not that we have aimed and missed as much as it is that many have missed because of their outright rejection of Jesus hitting the target for us.

well, if you go tot the Hebrew, you'll see many categories of "sins" -- one is a chet which means "to miss the mark. other categories of sin indicate different actions. The mark is proper behavior, so a chet must be an action...an attempt tp do something which misses the proper route.
