Welcome to the forum, rhhardin.
Chute>>shoot is already in the Database here: http://eggcorns.lascribe.net/english/704/shoot/
It’s also been discussed a number of times on the forum itself.

One of my all-time favorite eggcorns discussed here in the forum was “crap chute” vs. “crap shoot.” What was particularly clever about it was the fact that both words took on a secondary meaning.
Aside from that, I recall chute/shoot being discussed at least one other time here in the forum. There was a discussion about whether the two words were in fact interchangeable in some circumstances.
