Sharpshooters don't occasionally miss a stationary target, as Oswald was known to do. A sharpshooter will at least hit paper with iron sites out to 200 yards, close to 100 percent of the time. The shot from the depository was about 200 feet and moving away from Oswald at an angle.

In any case the fact remains that the killing shot came from the front. And that to duplicate his shooting job would take a rifleman with world class precision.

Think about it. Three shots were fired in about 6 seconds at a target the size of a human head. With a really bad bolt action rifle. With two hits, as far as we know. The killing head shot was fired from the front and at a low angle. Kennedy's head moved back and to the left. Now way Oswald did it. No way.
