The Ambush

[Mitch Todd]

So it easier to fire from this same cramped space down Elm Street? What's your point?

My point is simple to understand, if you think about it. You just don't want to.

[Mitch Todd]

So you can show via supporting evidence that a person who hasn't fired a weapon in years is better off using iron sights?

Sure! You want the study where they used frangible bullets made from compressed fairy dust, or the one where they tested new propellants synthesized from rainbow-flavored unicorn poop? What about the one where the rifle had a stock lovingly crafted from the wood of one of the goalposts you keep trying to move?

[Bill Brown]

From my own experience, the iron sights would be easier to use in this case. Scopes narrow your field of view, which can be problematic trying to acquire/re-acquire a moving target.

Agreed.

[Michael Walton]

Agreed.

If you really think about it, why did he have a misaligned scope on in the first place? The shooting distance was not far.  Another researcher has an excellent analysis of scope use and how it makes it very difficult to follow a moving target using one, even harder to use aiming the down at an extreme downward angle.

My take? It was there as all part of the ruse to make it look like Crazy Oswald - supposedly expert shooter - used a [misaligned] scope to get the job done.

I believe I asked that unanswered question back on post #29....

..if you're going to smuggle in a rifle somewhere and not use the scope then why carry in a scope?
Wouldn't matter if it was a top of the line Bushnell...if it's not sighted in properly, then it's worthless.

The shooting distance was not far. 

Triangulation assured accomplishment..of that there no doubt.

Jesse Ventura, a former Navy SEAL and expert marksman tried to duplicate Oswald's alleged shooting feat for one of his television shows. He couldn't do it, despite the fact that he had many tries (Oswald had only one) and the targets were stationary.

What about the possibility that ex-Governor Jesse Ventura was not trying as hard as he could to duplicate the shooting feat?

Keep in mind: Jesse Ventura was a professional wrestler. He earned his living in a profession that is based on lies. The lies are that the actions in the ring are spontaneous and not predetermined.

Jesse Ventura's attempt to duplicate the shooting sequence attributed to Lee Harvey Oswald was not authentic. He never intended to make the shots as fast as he was capable of doing.
