To think a "professional assasin" could not put a round (s) within 1/2 inch of the center of a six inch plate at 140 yds is simply idiocy on parade. Even if the pie plate was spinning on it's vertical axis, the hit would be dead center.

A .223 travels 420 ft in .1 sec. The one who grazed Trump's ear was not a professional, or even a well practiced amatuer.

I do not know where the “professional” fired from—so I cannot address your comment.

Perhaps others have some thoughts.

Just a further clarification—we know the direction but not the distance of the “professional” shooter.

Yep. The weapon Crooks was using was very low end.

Look at what the Secret Service was using:
