Stab, so to speak (3)

I believe the answer is:

try

(Other definitions for try that I've seen before include "crack" , "Four rugby points" , "Attempt; smooth (wood)" , "Attempt a score" , "A rugby score, result of effort" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post, the Universal and the USA Today.
