rest

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

This clue might be a double definition.

'others' is the first definition.
(eg the rest of a group)

'support for shot' is the second definition.
'rest' can be an answer for 'support' (e.g. a shoulder rest is a support for shoulder). I am not sure about the 'for shot' bit.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rest that I've seen before include "Relaxation" , "Leisure" , "Balance" , "Repose, others" , "Take a breather - (the) others" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
