I believe the answer is:

tried

'gave it a shot' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for tried that I've seen before include "Attempted" , "Proven by experience" , "Had a crack" , "Sampled" , "Tested" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
