Shoots one has to prune two ways? (6)
I believe the answer is:
snipes
'shoots one' is the definition.
'snipes' can be an answer for 'shoots' (sniping is a kind of shooting). I'm unsure of the 'one' bit.
'prune two ways?' is the wordplay.
'prune' becomes 'snip' (synonyms).
'two ways?' becomes 'es' (east and south - two directions. I am not sure about the 'two' bit.).
'snip'+'es'='SNIPES'
'has to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for snipes that I've seen before include "Fires from place of concealment" , "Puts down" , "Shoots from a concealed position - at birds of marshy areas?" , "Petty verbal attacks on the wading birds" .)
