Answer:

When Mr. Tate criticizes Atticus’s shot at the mad dog as being “a little to the right,” he is actually suggesting he is an excellent shot.

Step-by-step explanation:

In "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee, this scene shows Mr. Tate giving, in fact, a compliment disguised as something that seems to be a critic about the shooting abilities of Atticus, who was called to act since there is a rabid dog in the neighborhood and it was well known that he was the best shooter around.
