Shot in the avenue (5)
I believe the answer is:
drive
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'shot' is the first definition.
(I know that shot can be written as drive)
'the avenue' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for drive that I've seen before include "Motivate" , "Impel; house approach" , "first shot" , "tenacity" , "Use Aston Martin, say" .)
