An archery target is a building used to improve the marksdwarf skill. They can be built by pressing the A key (shift and a) under the build menu.

Shooting at an archery target improves a dwarf's marksdwarf skill. Shooting requires a crossbow and some bolts. Bolts shot at a target are used up, and will form a small pile that needs to be cleaned up by a dwarf with the cleaning labor enabled. Dwarves will currently only practice with wooden and bone bolts. Only off-duty squads will use archery targets. You can switch a squad to off-duty by accessing the military menu with m, selecting the appropriate squad with v, and setting it to off-duty with t.
