The best marksmen in the world couldn’t make the shots that Oswald supposedly made on Kennedy. That was proven long ago. Plus Oswald was using a POS Mannlicher-Carcano rifle isn’t that accurate.
Even the PBS TV program “Nova” that looked into the assassination they determined that the audio evidence shows that there was more than one shooter.
One of the pieces of evidence that was ignored was a shot through the windshield of Kennedy’s car. Now where did that come from?

I’ve stood under the Sixth floor window and then looked down the street at the place where JFK was first hit — it’s an easy shot, and even easier with a scope. Have you even been there?
Sheesh.

I’ve seen a documentary that did just exactly that. The shots on the motorcade were not long range at all.My beliefs on the assassination have changed over time and I tend to agree with the Warren Commission more than I disagree

So Jim Garrison said, and some people believe him.
BUT: after the Italian Army as a whole reequipped with the .30 M1 in 1952, the Italian Army Marksmanship Team continued to use the Mannlicher-Carcano for more than a decade.
Just because someone says they were the best doesn't mean it's true.
Using a scoped, bolt action rifle, I once shot 3 times at a deer that was running away from me through a timber cut field. One hit by itself was fatal requiring no tracking, one hit by itself would have meant tracking it for some distance but would eventually have been fatal. One hit by itself was a minor flesh wound he would have quickly recovered from.
Unlike that buck bouncing through brush, the target profile presented by JFK was essentially stationary.
I’ve been at the scene of the crime. Oswald was practically on top off Kennedy when he made his shots. The best marksmen in the world could easily do it with iron sights. Oswald used a scope.
Mannlicher-Carcano not being accurate shows a lack of knowledge about firearms. Shooters are still using this rifle on ranges all around the country and getting solid hits. This is with rifles that are a least 50 years older than the one Oswald used. I use a 1917 SMLE, 95 years old, and it still hits the black at 100 yards no problem. Oswald was shooting half the distance.
