Think about it...

Range, moving, windage, bolting and reacquiring target. He had obviously never shot from that spot before, no distance marking, probably unsure of when to shoot....

I think this skilled sniper makes a lot of sense.

Yea. And this is a FEMA Camp in Ohio.



Guess what? I live near this 'FEMA' camp!
It's in Lima, Ohio (Which he never mentions) and it is a prison!


So what you see on the 'Netz' ain't really what it is at times.

Except for the number of facts he gets wrong, such as that Oswald did not fail his shooting in boot camp; he qualified Sharpshooter. Later he was downrated to Marksman. The writer also either ignores or was unaware of the fact that Oswald had been going to ranges and practicing. A lot.

He also gets the facts wrong about the change in the motorcade route. As we have already shown, there was no change. Elm street was the planned route all along.

He also ignores or is unaware of the many recreations done in the intervening years, recreation in which experienced shooters, but not trained snipers, successfully made the three shots with little or no problems.
