He drops his glasses and shoots a dog. He has amazing accuracy. The children later learn he was top shot of Maycomb county. This shocks them, because they have never seen this die of their father and always considered him a pacifist that would always fight with words and never force. They consider him courageous after this.

Jem and Scout are shocked to discover that Atticus is known as the best shot in Maycomb County when he shoots and kills a mad dog with a single shot. They are surprised because Atticus is generally seen as a humble and unassuming man who does not flaunt his skills or seek attention.

It wasn't the shot itself, it was the fact that neither Jem nor Scout knew of their Father being able to shoot the rabid dog so calmly while it slowly started to come at him. It was also the fact that he apparently had a REPUTATION for being a pin point shooter.
