Did the Trump and Kirk assassins "zero in" their weapons?

The Trump (would-be) assassin struck Trump's ear, and maybe missed only as Trump turned at last moment.

The Kirk assassin hit on his first shot.

Both shooters were rank amateurs, and shooting from much longer distances than LHO.

LHO was a good shot, certainly by civilian standards, and the M-C rifle was built to military specs to be accurate to 200 yards. That is, on a tripod, in fixed position, it would hit the same small target at 200 yards over and over again.

LHP ay have practiced at the Sportsdrome and down in MC. But how much practice did the Kirk assassin have?

The rapidity of shots fired on 11/22 raises some issues.

In modern terms, LHO was a "gun enthusiast." He was in the Marines, learned to shoot, owned private guns while in service, owned a gun in Russia, owned guns back when he came to the US.

You should have said the alleged rapidity of the shots because in reality they were about five seconds apart over the 10.2 seconds that Oswald took to fire all three of them -- which total elapsed time has been determined by analyzing the conscious reactions of seven prime witnesses (including JFK, himself) to the sounds of Oswald's first, missing everything shot half-a-second before Zapruder resumed filming (after a 17-second film-saving pause) at Z-133.

Probably much more accurate than the "six seconds" (or whatever) conspiracy theorists like to claim, which is, unfortunately, based on the statements of traumatized witnesses to said shots in the echo chamber known as Dealey Plaza.

TG- I have posted here before that, based on what I see in the Z-film, JBC is shot ~Z-295 and JFK at Z-313.

I forget how to use the image function in this forum. Anyone know?

I meant to type, "LHO may have practiced at the Sportsdrome or down in MC." Or anywhere else for that matter. His whereabouts were not tracked 24/7.

Oswald's first, missing everything shot half-a-second before Zapruder resumed filming (after a 17-second film-saving pause) at Z-133.

Utter nonsense.
The mountain of evidence demonstrating, beyond any doubt, there was no such early shot is overwhelming.
The Searce/Roselle 'study'( ::)) is the worst kind of tripe. A five year old could debunk it. 'Head movements'?? In a motorcade?? You can't be serious.
Once again, your lack of knowledge regarding the basics shines through.
