For some reason the video link did not show up, but I reviewed the material. It appears they are shooting at a 15.75 inch stationary target at 200 yards. These are people that have plenty of range time to practice their skills to become perfectionists in competition.

You cannot compare that to Oswald, a minimally experienced shooter, shooting at a volley ball size target at 88 yards that is in motion.

When someone shows me a person that scored marksman in the military, that seldom gets range time, whose scope is known not to be zeroed, using a rifle and scope identical to Oswald’s, shooting from the same elevation Oswald did, at a volley ball size target, moving at the same speed JFK’s vehicle was, in the same direction, at the same range, and get two perfect shots in 2.3 seconds, I will then believe Oswald could have done it all by himself. That’s comparing apples to apples.

Anything else is like trying to call an apple an orange or a grape or whatever else is not identical.

There was testimony that Oswald constantly practiced working the action on the Carcano.

There have been other re-creations of the shots with a moving target, at the same range. Several other people were able to re-create hitting the target twice in the allotted time.

Why would you assume the scope was not zeroed?

I can see why you are skeptical. However, the shooting has been shown to be possible with the rifle and scope used.

Good Points All!
.
I’ve wondered why not the rifle that he had ‘some’ practice on???
.
I think Oliver Stone added Ammo for the Carcano was Very difficult to find back then ...so difficult that ‘Spooks’ had to supply it !?!
.
Back then Oswald could have bought anything by walking into a shop
Paying Cash anonymously.
.
Like I’ve said there is So much wrong with the supposed evidence that there is Very little to make an informed decision.
.
Lone Nutters ain’t really being diligent.
