What could be shot in Ambridge? (4,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

game bird

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

'what could be shot' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'ambridge?' is the wordplay.
'ambridge' can be anagrammed to 'GAME BIRD'.
Though, I am unsure how the anagram is indicated.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for game bird that I've seen before include "Woodcock" , "A pheasant or grouse - sounds courageous" , "Pheasant, say?" , "Grouse, perhaps" , "Pheasant, for example" .)
