Because back when Atticus was a kid, he was known as "Ol' One-shot Finch" (Lee 129). People called Atticus that because he has the deadest shot when handling a gun. Mr. Tate didn't shoot the dog himself because he can't shoot as well as Atticus can. Shooting Tim Johnson (the dog) was a one-shot thing.
