The one thing that was clear from this documentary was that Oswald was no "crap shot" as many (including the movie) would have him be.
In fact he was a marine sharpshooter, trained in speed shooting. Some of his scorecards showed 48/50 and 49/50 under test.
Bear in mind that Kennedy was shot from a distance of 88 yards (if Oswald did it) and the tests were at well over double that distance.
They also reckoned in the movie that the scope was faulty but this wasn't the case either as Oswald had only recently purchased the rifle mail order.
Finally, they had an 89 year old guy reload and fire the weapon in a quicker time than Oswald would have taken (8.1 seconds) - the guy even paused for the 3rd shot.
It would be interesting to know if there are any guys here who could fire a bolt action rifle 3 times in that space of time. Bear in mind that Oswald's first shot missed and his second didn't hit the target cleanly though.
