THE gunman who came within inches of assassinating Donald Trump honed his shooting skills on a range just days before the attack....Bill Jenkins, who has spoken to the FBI, told The Sun on Sunday: “I was sitting next to evil. I haven’t been able to sleep thinking about it.”
Crooks, who brought his own 9mm handgun, was such a crack shot on the elite training course that he blew a large hole in a shooting target with a volley of precision rounds....
...Bill and Crooks had signed up to the intermediate handgun-pistol 2 class at Keystone Shooting Centre in Cranberry, Pennsylvania, on June 22.
The range is a 50-minute drive from Crooks’ home in Bethel Park.
Keystone’s website says the course is the next level of handgun training...

The yutz in the ‘hoods certainly seem to come up WAY short on average and that seems to be the hotbed of well practiced potential candidates.
Sliver/Gold [$20s] Dollars are now in short supply....
Not as famous, I agree but she couldn’t have made Billy Dixon’s shot at The “Battle of Adobe Walls”. I’d place money on it. I actually don’t think Dixon could have done it twice in a row. However, at a 130 yards if I was doing the shot Trumps gone. I believe GOD saved him. Damn good thing for US
Annie was apparently about short distances and in relatively frequent expositions.
The mirror stuff over the shoulder is impressive to me.
Long distance sniper shots seem to be in a widely separated category.
YMMV.
The question I now have with each new “breaking news” report about the shooter is “Why is the CIA floating this version of events?”.
“Why is the CIA floating this version of events?”
Ask the Meritless Garland and the Fey Wray.
True. I can’t reach long distances with regularity. When I hunted, I never had to reach great distances. 300 yards was about my personal limit unless conditions were ideal. Everything was based on 200yds. At 130yds 5 rounds in a 3” circle meant elk on the table if you could find them. A hot tin roof, people pointing at you and yelling are not ideal conditions. I’m glad he missed but I don’t think the folks that set this up will quit. I never stopped elk hunting until I got old. I hope Trump’s careful. We need him badly. I knew a man that won the tournament at Camp Perry years ago in his 50’s. Kicked the young guys butts but he was exceptionally talented. I’m glad he liked me 🙂
“Camp Perry”
Isn’t that more than a bit away from your current compound?
“He was not a good shot or PDJT would be dead. He fired 4 to 8 times”
^
We have certain LEO to thank for a timely distraction—even though the LEO showed only his eyes over the roof’s drip edge.
(The LEO is said to have then fallen eight feet to the ground).

Never been there. I stay away from overly populated areas. The Rockies are more to my taste. More elk less people. #1 rule do not pet, bug, or otherwise screw with anything that looks like a bear. If you see a big brown lump of fur laying off the edge of a trail, while you are hiking, do not get a sharp stick and poke it. #2 rule you eff up #1 rule you do not need #3 rule. 😎
Fake news?
Is he talking about the shooter on the roof, the one inside the building or the one on the water tower?
Crooks fired six shots.
That's the Chris Martenson video. It's nonsense. He misidentifies shots and makes unsupported claims about who is shooting where.
Does that come from an FIB brass count?
It comes from my own analysis of the audio. There were nine shots in 16 seconds. Crooks’ shots have a consistent acoustic pattern and are easily identifiable.
Which audio source are you using?
I’m only aware of two, but it would seem that there should eventually be at least 10s of them from all sorts of locations.
A roof brass count should be a trivial exercise....
Aren’t snpiers trained to
decern direction of reports
of a weapon threat?
Why isn’t the second
shooter dead.
What direction did his
shots come from?
And where is impact
evidence?
I can almost guarantee
ir there were two shooters,
more would have been killed
or injured.
Gunfire reports have
different sounds (from
the same gun) when recorded
from different directions.
How would shooter 1 know
to stop at four only
to let the 2nd shooter
take credit for the kill?
The 2 shooter scenario
doesn’t hold water,
especially in the time frame
of the shooting.
If the snipers took one out,
they certainly would have
taken out the second.
JFK II ?
The question not answered here: Who was Crooks with?
