[Charles Martel]

Think about the skill / luck of that shot. At some distance.

Some skill and luck were involved, but the distance isn't as far as it appears in the film. When I visited the museum in the Schoolbook Depository building and looked down at the "X" painted in the street below, it changed my perception of the event greatly.

I've seen it. I immediately realized the shot was far easier than the conspiracy kooks make it out to be.

The road slopes downward at almost the same angle as the position from the book depository. You wouldn't even have to track very much in the vertical direction. The slope of the road aids greatly in keeping the target lined up in the sights.
