I agree an open sights shot at 68 yards (88 actually) is easy to do. I can do it myself at a hundred yards, even at my age.

I do not like scopes because it takes too long to acquire a target that requires a quick shot. They are great for big game hunters killing that grazing elk 300 yards away. Snipers like them for distance shots, as they also have a spotter.

Here we are talking a guy with a scope on a moving target. To cycle, reacquire on a moving target and get a perfect shot in, no, I’ll never believe it.

The target is barely moving. The limo goes downhill, a little to the left, so it is just a straight on shot at a target moving away from you, but easy to get in the target in the scope.

If you were in the ‘Snipers Nest’ and you watched the flow of Traffic coming at You Before it made the Left hand turn towards the Grassy Knoll a Lone Nut would have taken the shot Before the Limo turned.

I’ve been to the ‘Sixth Floor Museum’ and
It would have been shooting Fish in a Barrel-—one could take Out EverOne !
Take out the driver——Blood Bath.
No Joke.
