Skeptics have argued that expert marksmen could not duplicate Oswald's alleged feat in their first try during re-enactments by the Warren Commission (1964) and CBS (1967). In those tests the marksmen attempted to hit the target three times within 5.6 seconds. This time span has been heavily disputed. The Warren Commission itself estimated that the time span between the two shots that hit President Kennedy was 4.8 to 5.6 seconds. If the second shot missed (assuming the first and third shots hit the president), then 4.8 to 5.6 seconds was the total time span of the shots. If the first or third shot missed, that would give a minimum time of 7.1 to 7.9 seconds for the three shots.[27] Modern analysis of a digitally enhanced Zapruder film suggests that the first, second, and final shot may have taken 8.3 seconds.

Many of CBS's 11 volunteer marksmen, who (unlike Oswald) had no prior experience with a properly "sighted" Carcano, were able to hit the test target two times in under the time allowed. The only man who scored three hits was a firearms examiner from Maryland by the name of Howard Donahue.

Not a very hard shot at all.

Conspiracists start hyperventilating and pointing and sputtering.

THe calculation of the time span is from the firing of the first shot to the firing of the last shot. Some people have tried to make this span impossible by thinking that, somehow, the cocking and pointing of the rifle for the first shot must also be within that span, but this is wrong. Oswald could have cocked that rifle minutes earlier and taken his time sighting his target before the first trigger pull.

From Oswald's window the presidential limo was moving almost in a line directly away from Oswald, with very little right-left shift. Some people who have experience with rifles say this makes it relatively easy.

When the audio evidence is collated with the the available video footage, it becomes evident that there were not three, but five shots, which makes the feat even more difficult.

At any rate, some of the blabbermouths that spout off how easy a shot from the Book Depository Building would have been need to go to the range some time with your average military suplus rifle and try to hit an six-inch target consistently from a bench rest position at 100 yards. Then try it off-hand and then at a moving target. Or go out an try to hit a critter running in the woods.

You folks have no damned idea.

three, but five shots,

All the witnessess said they heard three shots, and the sixth floot was identified by people pointing at it.

Of course, no conspiracist ever lets facts get in the way of their fantasies.
