Ricochet (7)
I believe the answer is:
rebound
'ricochet' is the definition.
(I know that ricochet can be written as rebound)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for rebound that I've seen before include "Spring back on impact" , "Come straight back" , "misfire" , "tied again?" , "Spring back -- unrobed (anag)" .)
