We give upper and lower bounds for Diophantine exponents measuring how well a point in the plane can be approximated by points in the orbit of a lattice $\Gamma < {\rm{S}}{{\rm{L}}_2}\left( {\mathbb{R}} \right)$ acting linearly on ${\mathbb{R}^2}$. Our method gives bounds that are uniform for almost all orbits.

Keywords: Diophantine approximation, lattice action, shrinking targets.
