Lots of inaccurate shots (5)
I believe the answer is:
hosts
'lots' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both groups as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'inaccurate shots' is the wordplay.
'inaccurate' is an anagram indicator.
'shots' is an anagram of 'HOSTS'.
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hosts that I've seen before include "Great numbers of party-givers" , "Shots at entertainers" , "Comperes" , "welcomers of guests" , "Multitudes" .)
