In range, shot for making money (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

earning

'making money' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'in range shot' is the wordplay.
'shot' is an anagram indicator.
'in'+'range'='inrange'
'inrange' with letters rearranged gives 'EARNING'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for earning that I've seen before include "Gaining a wage" , "Receiving in return for work" , "Getting" , "Meriting" , "Making money" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
