Where to shoot past, going round the island (6)
I believe the answer is:
bisley
'where to shoot' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'past going round the island' is the wordplay.
'past' becomes 'by' (as in years gone by).
'going round' means one lot of letters goes inside another (some letters go around others).
'the island' becomes 'isle' (isle is a kind of island).
'by' enclosing 'isle' is 'BISLEY'.
