Preparing to fire (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aiming

(Other definitions for aiming that I've seen before include "Directing one's efforts" , "Directing, a missile perhaps" , "Pointing towards a target" , "Pointing, directing" , "Directing towards a goal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
