Different POI for different shooters

[Varmintnv]

My dad and I can exchange rifles without issue. But my wife, son, and I all have different POI's with the same rifle. Just differences in grip, cheek weld, an trigger pull.

One the main alignment errors is attributed to parallax, in simple terms, aligning the eye, to crosshairs to the bore. Any deviation, left, right, high or low, will result in a different POI, even from the same shooter.

Yup! ^^^^^^^^

Hey guys I have what is probably a basic newbie question. When shooting mid-semi long range I can shoot and hit a target no problem. When my 15 year old son gets behind the rifle he always shoots high, a lot of times high and left. I had another friend shoot with us recently and he was able to hit the target no problem also, my son shoots and high. I am just trying to figure out what my son could be doing wrong? Could it be something as simple as just how he is looking down through the scope?

I am talking targets at 400, 500, and 700 same results

Try using a good bag and lighter trigger with him for a steadier shot and will help moving during trigger pull.

Even though different LOP's, the wife and I shoot to same POI! However, she's a "wussy" and won't shoot my rifle…..unless really necessary! Really necessary hasn't happened yet! memtb

Cheekweld is different

Cheekweld differences only matter (first order) if parallax error can exist. Does the scope being used have a parallax adjustment and is it set to the correct range? If so, aimpoint differences caused by eye point differences wouldn't be the problem.

Yup! ^^^^^^^^

…unless the scope has a properly adjusted parallax setting, which will cause the crosshair plane to sit atop the target plane and zero that particular error.

Then how do you know you both shoot same poi if she hasn't shot yet?

My 4th wife and I....see mostly Eye to Eye...not necessarily POI....but that's why she's still my 4th....

My wife doesn't shoot much but has shot everything we own even the 338lm

When others have tried shooting my rifle at long range, misses were usually due to either variations in check weld, or not focusing the eye solely on the crosshair. After some guidance they were usually on target.
