outshoot

Beat at targeting

Outshoot means to shoot better than someone else, whether in accuracy, volume, or effect.

A team that outshoots its opponent takes more shots or scores more: They outshot the Rangers 35 to 22.

In a gunfight, to outshoot someone is to be the superior marksman.

An outshoot is something that extends or branches outward—a projection or offshoot.
