Not great variety though evidently a hit (2,6)
I believe the answer is:
on target
'evidently a hit' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'not great variety' is the wordplay.
'variety' indicates anagramming the letters.
'not'+'great'='notgreat'
'notgreat' anagrammed gives 'ON TARGET'.
'though' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for on target that I've seen before include "Accurate (shot)" , "Where bull may be" , "Up to the planned level" , "Keeping to a course" , "Heading in the right direction" .)
