We know enough about shooting to know that the Commission’s proclamation that the shooting was “very easy” for Oswald was pure BS.
As a former Marine (who qualified Expert four times w/ M14) I totally disagree.

You are an expert shot with a M14. Someone else declared that Oswald was an expert marksman.

According to the Marine website:

#1 Expert
#2 Sharpshooter
#3 Marksman

Oswald was a below average shot with a crappy gun.

0811,

I have the same Rifle Qualifications as you, but with an M16A2 and I agree with you.

Oswald qualified as a “Marksman.” There is NO WAY he squeezed off three shots in seven seconds and much less hit anything.

Plus, the frontal head shot to Kennedy says it all!
