I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'home owner' is the definition.
'host' can be an answer for 'owner' (I know that host is a type of patron). I'm not certain of the 'home' bit.

'badly shot' is the wordplay.
'badly' is an anagram indicator.
'shot' is an anagram of 'HOST'.

'got' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for host that I've seen before include "Entertainer of guests" , "Entertain" , "put on" , "Compere; multitude" , "Provide entertainment" .)
