Bale shot, having skills (4)
I believe the answer is:
able
'having skills' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'bale shot' is the wordplay.
'shot' indicates an anagram.
'bale' with letters rearranged gives 'ABLE'.
(Other definitions for able that I've seen before include "Practised" , "With the required capacities" , "Competent as, say, sailor" , "Competent and fit, like sailor" , "Competent, having ability" .)
