[Shooter 2.5]

I just found out today that everyone knew about the route.

The reason they didn't go down Main is because the limo was too low to jump a curb to go from Main to the Stemmens Freeway.

Elm Street leads to the freeway.

I ran across an interesting article you two may be interested in reading. In it there is a map of the motorcade route by the book store. Here's a link to the particular comment: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1028269/posts?q=1&&page=51#55

Also, here's an article of excerpts from various books explaining that the motorcade route was changed the morning of the 22nd: http://www.madbbs.com/~tracy/lho/vpal4.txt
Do a CTRL+F and find the word "route" for the passages.

Give me your impressions.

Another thing: Here's a link to a book which describes the expert shooters who did demonstrations for the Warren Commission trying to shoot an exact rifle like Oswalds at an actual target (albeit stationary) and real bullets at different distances.

Here's an excerpt from the conclusions:
"These guys did not mess around. They set three targets at three different distances -- 175, 240 and 365 feet and shooting from a tower 30 feet high with the same rifle, that funny Italian job, away they went. Remember this was again a stationary target that they used for this experiment. The first two marksmen not only missed the time frame, they missed the target. The third guy, a man called Miller, was the only one ever, to match Oswald's shooting speed, but his shots were so wild, his third shot not only missed the target, it missed the board it was mounted on."

"Don't forget. These top-class marksmen, the best in the land, were all shooting at stationary targets. It was agreed that a moving target would have slowed down the speed of shooting. To help them achieve their remarkable efficiency, these army experts had also corrected the inaccurate telescopic sight, which of course Oswald did not."
END OF EXCERPT

Let me know your perceptions of this also.
