Bulls on farms rarely stick around for 20 years. Also, how did it account for 20yrs of movement of an unpredictable life form?

You have a point, buuut: photons don't experience time or distance. Leaving the star and hitting the bull's eye happen in the same instant for them, no matter how many billions of light years apart they are. From the point of view of the photon, the bull's eye is touching that star in that other galaxy. For just that single instant in time.
