I believe the answer is:

bagged

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

'shot' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with contact as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'a boozy bad egg' is the wordplay.
'bad egg' anagrams to 'BAGGED'.
Though, I'm not sure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bagged that I've seen before include "Killed (game); claimed" , "Reserved" , "like game on August 12" .)
