Question second shot correction & recoil

(copy and paste)horusvision.com/img/hrsgame.swf

I could see using Horus reticle is much faster than dialing for first round hit. However, the simulation seems to suggest you can make correction based on seeing bullet impact ie. dirt/dust splash (I've been cautioned against using this to make correction, but I digress).
1. Is it realistic to see this through the shooter's own scope? Maybe my hold & follow through just suck but in all my LR shooting (.308, 6.5), I could not keep the rifle still enough to look through the scope during point of impact. It seems a spotter using a scope with the same reticle and holding the same holdover is required to make the correction.
2. Unless the background is flat wall, wouldn't the dirt splash not necessarily correspond to the reticle correction?
3. What about when there's no dirt splash ie. thick vegetation?

Gents, care to shed some light?

Thanks for the education.
