I don’t understand how they can accurately aim artillery. When they fire the whole machine moves a great deal and it would seem any calibration of its position would be lost.

They use ballistic calculators. The calculator factors weight of the projectile, elevation of the barrel, power of the propellant, gravity and Earth’s rotation.
The fact that you see the artillery piece (or vehicle) move violently is largely irrelevant, as the projectile has already left the barrel by that point. Lastly, they do not have to land on an exact “spot”, simply within a few meters is sufficient for their task.
