Marksmanship needed to get filming back on schedule? (13)

I believe the answer is:

sharpshooting

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

'marksmanship needed' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'to get filming back on schedule?' is the wordplay.
'to get' is an insertion indicator.
'filming' becomes 'shoot' (as in a film shoot).
'back on schedule?' becomes 'sharping' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'shoot' placed into 'sharping' is 'SHARPSHOOTING'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for sharpshooting that I've seen is " Expert firing".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
