Use piecrust to restore to full ammo bar (once per game).
Use custard to restore to full health bar (once per game).
Don't aim for health powerups; instead let pies hit you and then use custard to refill health. Only shoot at health powerups if you've already used the custard code and you're about to die.
Don't shoot at pies (they are only worth 1 point) - again, let them hit you and use custard to restore health. Only hit down pies if you have little health left and are about to die.

Here is bartdrunkeys' YouTube video of gameplay. You can note some of the shooting strategies and when the two game codes were used:

Shooting Strategy #1

Using the "piecrust" code, you get an extra ammo bar, for a total of two full bars of ammo over the duration of a single game (plus any powerup extras). For the first 1.5 bars, use a 4-shot strategy: arm-head-feet-body (or another other order, as long as you hit all four parts). Hit as many clowns as possible, being as quick as possible. Collect ammo and time powerups.

When you have about half a bar of ammo left, look at your time. If you still have sufficient (green) time, slow down and start doing 1-hits (aim for the clown's crease). If you have red or yellow time, continue hitting anything you can because you want to use up your ammo before time runs out.

Shooting Strategy #2

Use the same strategy as above, but instead of starting with 4-hits, use 2-hits to maximize points per hit (hit arm and then body). You want to get around 400 points before you use 'piecrust'. Continue as described above, eventually falling back to one-hits depending on your time:ammo ratio. The difficulty with this strategy is that you aren't maximizing the points gained from the clowns, so any "quiet zones" where no clowns show up are costing you greatly. However, you are less likely to run out of ammo if you use 2-hits instead of 4.

As always, accuracy is key. Try to have every shot hit something.
