Anyone who has fired a rifle knows that this was an exceptionally difficult shot: not because of distance, nor necessarily that JFK was both moving AND accelerating--but because the angle was DOWN.

This is yet another thing people who haven't been actually been at the site don't understand or refuse to take into account. That particular area of the plaza is a triangle with 3 streets and on a hill. The limo turned left in front of the book depository and immediately travelled down the hill and began a curve away from Oswald. The car was not the only moving target but the passengers were also moving to avoid getting hit, jumping/startled by the noise, and/or jerking and slumping over. And on top of everything else, Oswald would have had to be leaning out the window because the car had already passed. If anything, Oswald had a much easier shot when the car was still on Houston Street before turning onto Elm. He would have had a minute or more to sight in and fire straight on and the car was headed directly towards him. Taking the hit on Elm just doesn't make sense.

Have you ever been to Dealy Plaza and gone up to the 6th floor. You could have shot Kennedy with a Red Ryder bee-bee gun! If he had shot JFK on Houston they would have known where the shot came from and he would have been caught in the building.
