In my SEP the POH has a recommended rotate speed. Mind you - I haven't been taught to use it so I have treated it as academic...
To practice landing on small/short runways or for PFLs when returning home, my instructor has had me try to land on the left half of the runway with the piano keys representing a row of trees and one of the touch down zone markers a hedge. Quite satisfying getting that right (and is a good reminder how much runway you really need to land a small plane!!
Mind you - if doing a full stop landing I tend to aim for at least the touch down zone, otherwise its a long slow taxi on the active runway to vacate.
