crack shot

Never misses target

A crack shot is someone exceptionally skilled at shooting—whether with firearms, a bow, or in games like pool or basketball.

The phrase combines crack (meaning first-rate or expert) with shot: He's a crack shot with a rifle.

The term often appears in contexts involving hunting or marksmanship competitions.
