Ross

I believe the answer is:

screamer

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

'great shot' is the definition.
'screamer' can be an answer for 'shot' (I have seen 'powerful shot' mean 'screamer' so perhaps 'shot' could also mean 'screamer'). I'm not sure about the 'great' bit.

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for screamer that I've seen before include "Sensational newspaper headline - mere scar (anag)" , "Remarkable thing; noisy person; large water bird" , "express delivery" , "she'll give voice" , "powerful shot" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Crosaire) and the Irish Times.
