[QUOTE="Kevin, post: 53802, member: 603"] Possibly the best way to show someone how simple it is to hit things at long range is to just get them out there and shoot. My cusin was here who is 20 year old girl. She had never shot a rifle before. So what do I do? Set up some milk jugs and moved right back to 500 yards. Taught her the basics (safty, how the rifle works, ect.). Then I just said put the crosshairs in the middle and squeeze the trigger very gently. She not only hit the jug but the shot was only about 1" from the center (on her very first shot ever!), we shot a few more and she never missed one. So if someone who has never shot before can go out there and consistently hit jugs at 500yards the average shooter should have no trouble. [/QUOTE]
