How is the term SHOT used?

The term SHOT is transmitted by the FDC after each round fired in adjustment and after the initial round in the Fire For Effect phase.

SHOT is the acknowledgement from the Fire Direction Center that a round has actually left the tube. In adjustment, it’s transmitted after every round fired, and in the Fire For Effect phase it’s sent after the initial round. This keeps the observer and FDC synchronized, providing a clear timing marker for observing impacts and issuing corrections for subsequent rounds. It’s not used to denote rounds remaining, it isn’t a weather correction, and it isn’t sent by the observer at the start.
