"Those that claim more than two shooters have greater weight."

In November 1963, Lee Harvey Oswald was a former Marine with a record of poor marksmanship who supposedly used a wore out old Italian Carcano carbine with a sloppily mounted scope to make a head-shot on a moving target at 100 yards. At the time, I too was a former Marine, but with a four year record of expert marksmanship, and I've always doubted if I could have made that shot.

Some of the best witnesses to the mystery have since died of old age and confessed on their deathbeds. That to me weighs heavier than most other known confirmed evidence.

The spook assets in news media carry out what is described as ‘information poisoning’ which puts inadvertent truth disclosures into a maelstrom of disinformation rendering truth as crap conspiracy drivrl. Everybody becomes turned off when a truth is thrown in with a bed of lies. People don’t know what to think which is the aim, to sow doubt and confusion.

It was not a 100 yard shot. It was an 81 yard shot.

2009. I was 62 yo. Elk hunt. M1A standard grade with military sights. Reloaded 7.62 for hunting. 84 yards to the four inch wide neck at the base of the skull. (That was all that was presented.) Five degree downhill shot with the animal walking straight towards me. Standing, off-hand with no sling assist. Bullseye. Sight picture when the round went off was perfect.

Luck or training? Both. My point being I cannot dismiss Oswald based solely upon his prior lack of ability and his equipment. It was only a hundred yards or so and the rifle was scoped. Look for information regarding accuracy of that rifle when test fired after the fact. Was it?
