Ross

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

10

4,6

shot putter

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

'athlete' is the definition.
(I know that shot putter is a type of athlete)

'fired by club' is the wordplay.
'fired' becomes 'shot' (shooting is a kind of firing).
'by club' becomes 'putter' (a golf club. I am not sure about the 'by' bit.).
'shot'+'putter'='SHOT-PUTTER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for shot putter that I've seen before include "Sportsman" , "Fifteen [ATHLETE]" , "Competitor throwing" .)
