Figures on targets getting shot (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tetragons

'figures' is the definition.
(tetragon is a kind of figure)

'on targets getting shot' is the wordplay.
'getting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'shot' is an anagram indicator.
'on'+'targets'='ontargets'
'ontargets' with letters rearranged gives 'TETRAGONS'.

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
