"And the good colonel was a lousy shot accomplishing three that a number if trained professional marksmen using the same weapon couldn’t duplicate in the time or distance involved."

I know this won't make any difference to you but I post this for your consideration.

“I know this won’t make any difference to you but I post this for your consideration.”

Watched it, what’s it supposed to tell me? Only one of the volunteers was able to score all three shots within the time frame, a weapons expert. The other two they mentioned got one or two hits in the time with the rest being misses and they were determined experienced state troupers who handled weapons and had been given time to practice on the range.

Records indicate that Oswald’s marine shooting record was based on using an M1 30 cal that does not require caulking and repositioning to fire like the weapon he supposedly used to shoot Kennedy. He was considered a marksman in the marines for score but he didn’t have the MOS as one. He was a radar operator.

“I know this won’t make any difference to you...”

If you show me something that adds to another answer, it would. I’ve spent many years studying this incident like other things concerning the Kennedys, but I’m always open to any new information that applies to differences. Give me some and you might be surprised. So far you haven’t.
