Italian term or phrase: correggere il tiro
Mai da parte vostra sono stati esposti problemi riguardanti i dati di base da noi forniti con la specifica tecnica di cui sopra e tantomeno vi siete preoccupati successivamente di collaborare tempestivamente con noi per correggere il tiro anche in fase di avviamento dello skid.

Not at all sure what is ment by "tiro" here. Anyone any ideas? TIA
