[Ads-l] hone = aim

[Herb Stahlke]

He honed his flashlight towards the noise. (Andrew Case.  2016.  The Big
Fear.  Seattle:  Thomas and Mercer, p. 9)

"hone in on" for "home in on" goes back a half century, but "hone" for
"aim" is a new one on me.  A search on "honed towards" shows no hits, and
the Free Dictionary doesn't have the usage.  MWDEU doesn't list the usage
either, so maybe this is a nonce usage.
