crackshot

Never misses targets

A crackshot is someone exceptionally skilled at shooting—a marksman who hits targets with consistent accuracy.

The term often appears as two words or hyphenated: He was a crack shot with a rifle.

Extended figuratively to anyone highly skilled at hitting targets of any kind: She's a crackshot at trivia.
