The question is about Hamlet. Precisely, from Act 1, Scene 3, the conversation between Laertes and Ophelia when Laertes says to her

And keep you in the rear of your affection,

Out of the shot and danger of desire.

Here shot means shooting and the line means I'll keep you from the negative effects of danger.
