"Points at and there are shots" (5)
I have T - R - S. All I can think of is TERMS or TURNS, neither of which seem logical. Any reasoning for one of these? I'm sure about the R and S but not about the T which comes from "Not at the sea-front!" (6) for which I have ASTERN. (A - - - R -)

turns looks fine to me -- it's doubly defined in the clue. Turn can mean either to point at or a shot. I also agree with astern.

Ok, TURNS it will be!. Though I think "points at" for "turns" isn't quite kosher. That was the final clue. This crossword has been running for years, yet there are only five different grids (19x19). It amazes me that it can go on like this. I found out by chance that the same crossword also appears in The Deccan Herald (Bangalore), with a cryptic and an "easy" set of clues, which have different answers. The setter must be a genius!
Could it be !! fires and adrift ?

No, not really. The letters given are correct. Maybe in the Bangalore version!
