How well do you actually shoot? Will keeping a cartridge-to-kill ratio help you decide how you shoot?

A ratio is accepted as a bench-mark of quality when applied to a shoot, but does a cartridge-to-kill ratio represent an accurate assessment of the individual game-shooter's ability? Does it tell you if you are a good shot? When you are shooting within the effective range of your capabilities with a normal game-gun, will a ratio mark you out as a good shot, bad or average shot to the rest of the shooting community and to yourself?
