Sniper with no shot in the flesh (2,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

in person

'in the flesh' is the definition.
(I know that in the flesh can be written as in-person)

'sniper with no shot' is the wordplay.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'shot' indicates an anagram.
'sniper'+'no'='sniperno'
'sniperno' is an anagram of 'IN-PERSON'.

(Other definitions for in person that I've seen before include "Not remotely" , "not sending someone else as representative" , "Somebody fashionable" , "Ron's pine (anag) - being bodily present" , "Actually present" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
