Is there many a skill in throwing one? (4)

I believe the answer is:

dart

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

'throwing one?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'is there many a skill' is the wordplay.
'is there many' becomes 'd' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'a skill' becomes 'art' (both can mean a talent).
'd'+'art'='DART'

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dart that I've seen before include "Small arrow" , "Move quickly and suddenly" , "shift fast" , "Devon river - bound - race" , "one destined to go on board?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
