Set out some targets at the distance for shooting (7)
I believe the answer is:
arrange
'set out' is the definition.
(to set or lay out in an ordered way)
'some targets at the distance for shooting' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'some' could be 'a' and 'a' is present in the answer.
'distance' could be 'range' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'range' is present in the answer.
A single letter 'r' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for arrange that I've seen before include "Dispose" , "Settle, work out" , "Rare nag (anag.)" , "Put in order; plan" , "Set in order" .)
