Quite similar, but maybe they are for slightly different situations
Give it a go
- someone is scared to do something and you want to encourage them
- you think it’s likely they will succeed
Take a shot
- you encourage someone to do something but it is not clear if they will succeed
- maybe they will fail but you want them to take a chance
