See graduate's shots (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lobs

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

'shots' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'see graduate's' is the wordplay.
'see' becomes 'lo' (archaic exclamation meaning 'look!').
'graduate' becomes 'bs' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'lo'+'bs'='LOBS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lobs that I've seen before include "Throws ball slowly in high arc" , "Pitches" , "Sends over a high ball" , "chucks up" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
