[QUOTE="Dave King, post: 52505, member: 3"] I don't believe a person (normal everyday person) can comprehend and use long range shooting without some actual experience. Once the idea that the scope is adjusted in the field, trajectories are repeatable and distance must be known BEFORE the shot are understood there is some hope that the person will take off and understand a little. Theory alone does not seem to work well, practical experience is the only way I've every seen it work. A day trip to a large field with 6 milk jugs as targets should get the minimal basics out of the way. 100 yards/meter zero, 200 yards/meters point-blank 300, 400, 500 and 600 scope adjustment adjust. 30-06/308 class rifle trajectory use 0, 2, 4.5, 7.5, 11 and 14.5 as starters for data through 600 YARDS (add some for meters), should get you close enough to impress anyone on the first shot.
