shooting gallery

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'what the killers are capable of' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'largely mistaken for fairground attraction' is the wordplay.
'mistaken' is an anagram indicator.
'for' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'fairground attraction' becomes 'shooting' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'largely' is an anagram of 'gallery'.
'gallery' after 'shooting' is 'SHOOTING-GALLERY'.

'is' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for shooting gallery that I've seen before include "where discharge follows training" , "A fair range" , "Where one may be on target" , "Where one might get high" , "target practice here" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times.
