A bolt possibly shot (5)

I believe the answer is:

arrow

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'a bolt' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'shot' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'possibly' is the link.

(Other definitions for arrow that I've seen before include "Item in a quiver" , "Direction indicator" , "Fletcher's production" , "Indicator; missile" , "Arm" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
