How to Say "marksmanship" in Spanish

Using 'Tener' for Skills
In Spanish, we say you 'have' (tener) aim rather than 'are' good at it. It's treated like a possession or a talent you carry.
Always Feminine
Puntería is a feminine noun. Even if a man is shooting, the word stays 'la puntería' and the adjectives describing it must be feminine (e.g., buena puntería).
