Por ahí van los tiros
como se diría en inglés " por ahí van los tiros" cuando alguien se aproxima a algo, por ejemplo en un acertijo, y lo que dice no está muy desencaminado.

You're on the right track.
You've almost/nearly got it. You're nearly there. You're close. That's about/nearly/more or less right.

What you wrote is not an equivalent expression, nor is it a good English translation of the phrase. por ahí = there van = go los tiros = the shots |
