Thread: Precision shooting recoil/point of aim

I've been watching quite a lot YouTube videos during this pandemic lock down time at home recently. Got a question regarding the recoil and point of aim in your scope before and after pull the trigger.

In this video from Mark, https://youtu.be/BFAg1WGhPC8?t=604 at about 10:10, he mentioned the point of aim expected to be within 2MOA(roughly half mil) in your scope, vertical is better than horizontal.

And in this gentleman's video, https://youtu.be/isQiEsXNC_E?t=678 his shoots between 11:30 and 13:00, I notice the point of aim jumps mostly left, sometimes right to the original aiming point, about 2mils(he is shooting PRS, so I am guessing he is using Mil scope, luckily he has a scope camera can record everything seeing from the scope)

Anyone can spot anything wrong with the shooter in the 2nd video?
To me, his prone shooting position is steady, trigger pull is smooth, I don't see any bipod jump, nor muzzle jump so I reckon he did handle the recoil properly. But the point of aim moved about 1.5-2mils(roughly 5-7MOA), is this something significant enough from your experience and needs to be corrected or reduced for precision shooting? Or how much offset do people normally have for your point of aim before and after take the shot?

Thank you.
