The main idea here is precision versus accuracy. Hitting in a tight, repeated spot shows high precision (repeatable results), while being off the center shows low accuracy (not close to the true target). Since the performer’s hits are consistently clustered but away from the center, this is a case of high precision but low accuracy. So the statement is true. If the cluster were centered on the middle, both high precision and high accuracy would hold.
