It's not quite like shooting a bullet. There is a window that they can maneuver
within. It may have to do with the amount of propellant carried in the "garage"
attached to the back of the crew dragon. There also has to be enough left in
that to de-orbit.
I saw a series of diagrams somewhere (maybe on the SpaceX web site?) that
illustrated all the various maneuvers at the different stages.
The approach to the ISS is interesting in that there is an exclusion zone of
sorts all around the ISS. They need to target to outside that zone until they
make their final approach. Once they are in a parallel orbit just outside the
exclusion zone, they can rotate and maneuver into the docking station. The crew
dragon (and the cargo dragon) is that the whole operation is autonomous.

Guy on radio was saying SpaceX crew capsule has to be launched at a specific
time to rendezvous with the ISS, sounds like shooting a bullet. Same guy said
Boeing design will have a wider launch window because it is more maneuverable.
Looking at photos they don’t seem that different. Does this sound right? Main
difference seems to be the way they land, in water or on land.
Not sure what happens to Boeing capsule if collapse of air travel on top of
737 Max fiasco spells the end of Boeing as a company.
