Default Chasing Zero

I was at the range yesterday.Hard to fit in range time with archery practice and archery hunting this time of year.
While there I was observing and trying to lend a hand tactfully to an older gentleman who was sighting in,in preparation for our rifle season.He shot quickly without enough set up in my opinion and I was helping him track his shots with my spotting scope.I would tell him where he was hitting and then he would make scope adjustments,never having shot two shots at the same adjustment.
I wanted to offer to take a shot for him but I didn't want to insult him,there is a fine line with helping someone versus insulting someone.I truly thought though that it would be a good idea.I am not the greatest shot in the world but I am a lot more methodical.I never did offer for fear of insulting.
The last shot he took printed a inch low and two inches right,no second shot no tweaking further,good enough the gentleman says and in the case the rifle goes.
Any one else have a hard time with this?
