They may be shot close to camp in attacks (6)
I believe the answer is:
rapids
'they may be shot' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adverb but the answer is not.
'close to camp in attacks' is the wordplay.
'close to' indicates one should take the final letters (the close/ending of).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'attacks' becomes 'raids' (raiding is a kind of attacking).
The final letter of 'camp' is 'p'.
'p' going inside 'raids' is 'RAPIDS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rapids that I've seen before include "Parts of a river where the current is very fast" , "Fast-flowing river section" , "Fast flowing stretch of a river" , "Fast-flowing and turbulent part of a river" , "Fast-flowing stretch of river, white water" .)
