This kind of shooting is pitched too high (5)
I believe the answer is:
sharp
This might be a double definition.
'this kind of shooting' is the first definition.
'sharp' can be an answer for 'shooting' (thesaurus). I am not certain of the 'this kind of' bit.
'pitched too high' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'is' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sharp that I've seen before include "Incisive" , "factor in scoring?" , "Unscrupulous character" , "woman's name in Vanity Fair" , "Hurtful" .)
