The animation came from a computer program "JFK Reloaded" from which I created the 4 separate POV's and composited them into a single GIF. The reason I showed each view at a stationary angle as the Limo passed, was to show the corresponding angular velocity and therefore demonstrate the difficulty in tracking the shot.

I tried this shooting simulation and I found it very difficult to hit JFK twice. I think it took me like 5 attempts because an early miss and the limo speeds up as this programmed driver DOES react correctly . He steps on the gas and gets the limo out of there fast instead of : “Lets almost stop the limo cause Im a little hung over  from parting last night till 2am in the morning and  I wasn’t thinking clearly
.
I found the easiest method was to shoot Greer the driver with a 1st shot asap which causes the limo to come to a stop and  then it was easier with only a 2nd shot to hit a stationary JFK. The SS agents didn’t react any faster than in the Z film  so IDK if thats a programmed mistake since reaction by SS agents Clint  Hill might have been faster if the driver was hit by a 1st shot. However, it still takes about 3 secs to reach JFK which would be enough time for an aimed 2nd shot at the stationary target  …, unless JFK reacts faster and ducks down in only 1 sec from hearing 1st shot and seeing driver hit.

I don’t see how it is possible to have missed the limo. Even if it was a severely undercharged bullet, it still should have hit within 2 feet of the target.

That would have been amazing if he was trying to shoot the limo. I normally don't like to make assumptions but I'm going to make an assumption in this case. I assume his target was NOT the limo.
