My PH's thought that Americans were typically good shots. A common complaint among them was that some Americans would fire the first shot and then admire their shot instead of chambering a follow-up round or following up with a second shot. According to the PH's, many times the lack of a quick follow-up shot resulted in wounded game and hours of successful/unsuccessful tracking efforts.

One other thought... going out on a limb a bit, it appears to me that the widespread popularity of black rifles has had an overall negative effect on marksmanship. There's too much emphasis on rapid fire. On a recent trip to the range, a shooter had a human silhouette target set up at 25 yards. "Groups" on the target were close to a foot across. The shooter seemed satisfied.
