I could have made those shots pretty easily with a bolt action rifle. I have no doubt.

But could you have fired 3 shots in six seconds hitting the target twice?

I’d say its not impossible. I’ll tell you this, actually visiting the book depository building made plain to me two things. Dealy Plaza is a very small space, just an intersection of city streets really. Second, the shots were not long shots by any means. A practiced Marine rifleman could have made those shots most of the time, IMHO.

It was 8+ seconds, and yes I could and so could you.

Remember, the clock starts at shot number one. That means you have 8 seconds to get off two shots, not three.

Pretty easy actually.
