Well, it's not a huge issue to me, but it's been brought up on this board whether or not the shots fired in Dealey Plaza in Dallas, TX, November of 1963, were capable of being fired by a sub-expert marksman with the Carcano rifle and its mediocre 'scope. I don't know the exact date of the broadcast, but it seems to me that back in the early '70's, a major network tried it (I want to say ABC), and got 2 or more to do it, in the time frame provided by the tapes of the microphones keyed at the time, and the video on the Zapruder film.
Any-way, I don't any longer have the time frames of the stipulated shot-to-shot hits and misses. Keep in mind that we're not talking about the ability to consistantly put these shots into the size of an A-Zone hit, but rather into the areas that were hit. (At least one missed the car completely.) If anyone has any info on the time frames, where ea. shot hit, and who did the testing, I'd be curious.
My contention is, whether or not a man alone did it (and this is definitely NOT my question-- that debate can and will go on in other arenas far after all the principles are dead), a man alone could have made the shots in the allotted time.
I know, I know-- I'm asking you to disregard a LOT of other evidence. I don't care about directions of shot trajectories or reactions of the targets, etc. The question is: would it have been possible? I say yes, any decently trained rifleman could have, particularly one with some hunting experience.
