Fact is shooters were doing just that long before ffp scopes became popular.
Wether its 500 yds or 3000 yds is meaningless as to the importance of seeing a hit.
And, the fact also is that seeing hits at all wont be possible at extreme distances in some places regardless of equiptment due to conditions.
Ask yourself if you saw the actual hit, or a dust cloud caused by the hit?
So go shoot someplace or on a day where there will be no dust clouds at that distance and report back. lol
Mind you I'm not attempting to minimize your accomplishment, only the theory, and also to call attention to various conditions we might shoot under. See the hit, and the rest is easy, regardless of scope choice.
As for the spotter, he will only be as good as what he is looking thru to call shots even with a high end spotting scope.
Cover one eye and look around for a few hours to get some idea of what I'm talking about.
