Shoot into a hole, gamely? (3)

I believe the answer is:
pot
'shoot' is the definition.
(I've seen this in other clues)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pot that I've seen before include "It may call the kettle black" , "Plant holder" , "'A watched . . . never boils'" , "Grass" , "Cooking vessel, plant container and street drug" .)
