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

'auditor as far as i can see' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'i fired' is the wordplay.
'i' becomes 'eye' (I've seen this in other clues).
'fired' becomes 'shot' (shooting is a kind of firing).
'eye'+'shot'='EYESHOT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eyeshot that I've seen before include "Range of sight" , "View" , "Range of vision" , "as far as one can see" , "Distance for which one can see" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
