Jeremiah's answer to 1 - ADDLE, and BW's answer to 4 - PUNT are both correct.
For # 8, BW answered BETE. I was looking for HEAL as a homophone for HEEL (move along, like a dog)

The answer for # 3 is SNIPE(R)S --- Birds are SNIPES, and head of "right" is R; R goes into SNIPES to get to SNIPERS = hidden shooters.
The answer for #7, NECK is correct.
