archery

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'to sport' is the definition.
(archery is a kind of sport)

'after crashing car the man goes by railway' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
an anagram of 'car' is 'arc' which is within the answer.
'man' could be 'he' (pronoun for a man) and 'he' is found in the answer.
'railway' could be 'ry' (abbreviation for railway) and 'ry' is present in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'to get' acts as a link.
