He just has to look down because his heart is beating way too fast for him to being able to look strait to her eyes that all time, he just has to take a second there to absorb that feeling that is taking over his body. Just like on the day he fell in love with her, and became this shy adorable pirate in front of her for the first time.
Or, as I like to call it: 6 Times Killian Nailed the Shot and the One Time He Didn’t.
I suck at making gifs, so I scoured our gif-making shipmates’ archives looking and begged others for some examples of Killian and his deadly aim. Those eyes of his aren’t just blue, they are sharp, too (probably 20/20 even). And the man is versatile with his chosen projectiles. I don’t know about the rest of you, but all I can say is “Rawrrr…” Competency kink in full view, thankyouverymuch.
Starting in season 3, we got a taste of Killian’s talents. So long, flying monkey who probably used to be a person. You won’t be taking Henry today.

In season 4, we got to see even in his off-hours, Killian takes his target practice seriously.
LOOK AT THIS ASSHOLE PIRATE THOUGH LIKE HE’S SUCH AN ASSHOLE PIRATE BUT HE’S AN ASSHOLE PIRATE IN LOVE WITH EMMA FUCKING SWAN OK
BECAUSE LIKE WHAT THE FUCK HE’S ALL OH I JUST HAD SOME DREAMSHADE LYING ABOUT SURPRISE!
BUT OK MY FAV BIT IS WHEN HE’S LIKE I JUST NEED YOU KNOCKED OUT LONG ENOUGH FOR EMMA TO DEFEAT YOUR MOTHER LIKE HE’S NOT EVEN TRYING FOR ANY BRAVADO NONSENSE LIKE I’M GONNA DEFEAT THE BLACK FAIRY OR WHATEVER. HE TRUSTS HIS SWAN. HE’S JUST TRYING TO HELP HER AND I LOVE HIM SO FUCKING MUCH
I imagine Killian looking up traditional wedding vows in the Realm Without Magic and reading the part “til death do us part” and *snorting* “Well, that’s just nonsense.”
