I'm assuming by 'shots' you mean aim. Whether they had a good aim or not is unknown, but their tactic was better in the facts that they recognized the British's uniform (bright red) was making them an even more easy target as was their plan to stand in a row and fire. This being said, the Americans began to camouflage themselves in dark clothing and hide behind rocks and trees then fire at the British. As you can imagine, this aided them a great deal whether they had good aim or not.

I mean, come on, bright red uniforms in a row. It's not that hard. So it really wasn't about who had the better aim, just who had the better tactic. lol. Hope this helps!

Do Americans think they're better than the British?

The majority of Americans do not hate the British and do not think they are better than them, but there will always be the prideful few who do think America is better, just like in Britain where a few think they are better than the Americans.
