Oswald was a top notch expert marksman according to his Marine Corps marksmanship score cards. Take off your tinfoil hats people Oswald was the lone gunman who shot Kennedy. That does not mean that there was not a conspiracy, most likely by the Mafia if there was one, but all the physical evidence adds up to Oswald being the lone gunman firing the shots from the book depository window. If you want to read the definitive investigative book about it get “Case Closed” by Gerald Posner.

Which is funny, because the range NCOs and his battle buddies have repeatedly said he was one of the worst marksmen they've ever seen. And one of his qualification scores was within two points of being a no-go.

According to his boot camp records he was a mediocre rifleman at best. Just past the minimum requirements to get out of boot camp. Even Posner admitted in his book that Oswald was never more than an average marksman.

From whence do you derive your information?

The ratings for rifle are expert, sharpshooter and then marksman. Marksman is the lowest rated. Even I qualified as a marksman. It’s on my DD-214. And that was with only two times at the range in San Diego.

I agree, and i have no doubt that it was a conspiracy in which Ruby was involved.
