About 25 feet is the story I heard also. Plus it was a chance shot.

Arlen Specter could have proved the 400-yard shot to a certainty, demonstrating the .44 cal. bullet went on to cause six additional wounds only to appear in pristine condition on the Governor's stretcher at Parkland.

We, however, recognize the 400-yard figure as a "clerical error", the term used by J. Edgar Hoover to explain Life magazine and the Warren Commission printing Zapruder frames 312 and 313 in reverse order in order to maintain the plausible denial.

No doubt the scene of the Huff shot was chaotic, and the odds against the man trained as a sharpshooter redeployed with a revolver making that shot were great.

But not great enough to prevent it.
