Shot one pellet wildly? One’s good with shots (9,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

telephoto lens

'one's good with shots' is the definition.
(type of camera lens)

'shot one pellet wildly?' is the wordplay.
'wildly?' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'wildly' mean this).
'shot'+'one'+'pellet'='shotonepellet'
'shotonepellet' is an anagram of 'TELEPHOTO LENS'.

(Other definitions for telephoto lens that I've seen before include "Camera equipment that magnifies the image" , "Camera accessory" , "Device producing magnified image of distant objects" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
