On preserve bird (easy shooting) 90-100%, but i do have days i shoot 50%

On wild game 70-80% over the last three seasons

Still not nearly as good as some i have hunted around, but better than most

That said i cannot state with any level of fact how good or bad a shot the general population is or is not.

Practice, experience, and more practice yields quality performance, i do not know how much others have or have not. I find i shot better when i don't think about than when i do.

I must admit that i shot better up close (25 yards and less) than long range 40 yards and beyond, to the extent that i simply defer and do not shoot long range very often if at all on long birds. Then again a string of good dogs has made it easy to chose close shots.
