Did just that yesterday.
Ive been taking my dad up to shoot at longer and longer distances over the last month or two.
Hes purchased his own rifle and raided my stuff to equip it, been watching YouTube for tips and tricks, and we've been discussing shooting "long" range (For which my experience is limited at best, and he's pretty well exhausted what help I can give).
He doesn't really have a grasp of how the ballistic app on his phone works, so we're still using mine, but otherwise he's pretty self-sufficient in terms of setting up and making a shot now.
So.....now we're just working on shooting.
Neither of us is any good at gauging wind....I need to put out some little flags also, a theres a noticeable swirl in the bowl and the wind will change direction from gust to gust. Most of the misses we had were trying to figure out the new wind hold.
My gun wears a MIL scope and his has a MOA, so I didn't try to measure his misses, but Strelok pretty well called the vertical correction, tho we were consistently low so were holding top 1/2 of the plate.....still most of our misses were off left or right.
anyway fun day mostly watching him bang away.
oh we spent about 40rnds trying to hit with his AR, and neither of us managed to actually catch the plate, but 2 rounds when thru the 2x4 holder......that was an exercise in frustration......
loaded up....light day only 5 rifles (2 muzzleloaders that needed sighting for this upcoming weekend)
the "range" and other randomness
so...get out and shoot!

. It makes me wish I was living closer to my Dad so we could do the same.
