A duck shoot is slang for something ridiculously easy — a total cinch, a piece of cake. The metaphor comes from carnival-style shooting galleries where you shoot at slow-moving mechanical ducks and can barely miss. When someone calls a task a duck shoot, they mean it requires zero effort or skill. It has the same flavor as 'shooting fish in a barrel' but sounds a bit more casual and British. Use it to describe a game, a test, a competition, or any situation where victory was basically guaranteed from the start.
(slang, in the plural) Money; currency.
