I am currently reading a book about IFR flying.
"The complete advanced pilot" by Bob Gardner.
In the book, i came across the term
"to shoot an aproach"

What does that mean ?
Can anybody please explain ?

Sometimes pilots approaching an airport using a standard instrument
procedure botch the approach, and when they get on the ground, will
blame the procedure author by shooting off his mouth. If the approach
is withdrawn because of this, it's called "Shooting the approach".

Seriously, it's just slang for making an approach to an airport, under
actual or simulated instrument conditions, using only the cockpit
instruments for navigation and control. The method of approaching an
airport under these conditions is carefully planned in advance and
published (these are called "Standard instrument approach procedures"),
and following the procedure will ensure a successful approach to the runway.
