He would have paid cash at a rifle range so there would be no record of it. He also could have found an open area somewhere where he wouldn't have to pay. Some have speculated he could have practiced down by the Trinity River. In any case, lack of a record of his practicing does not rule out that he practiced. Carcano ammo is sold in boxes of 20. He fired one shot at Walker and had four rounds left when he shot JFK. That leaves 15 rounds unaccounted for. It's also possible he could have bought more than one box of ammo. We don't know how much he practiced or when, but it is probable he practiced somewhere, sometime. Regardless, there is conclusive evidence he fired three shots on 11/22/63 and three of those shots hit JFK.
Not difficult at all. He could have fired from a kneeling position which he would have practiced in the USMC. He showed proficiency from that position. Only the first shot would have been complicated by the low window which might explain why he missed.

 :D There they are. Excuses every one. Forget about proof, there is no evidence for any of these.

Mr. Rankin: …there are a good many stories about his practicing with a gun, you know, around various rifle ranges and so forth,
we have checked those out and none of them stand up at all. (Executive Session | Jan. 27, 1964)

You guys own rifles. I don't. How long can you go without cleaning it and still use it?
Depends on how often you fire it.

Interesting there is no sign of any maintenance kit for the gun. It is required.
He had the gun for 8 months. The bolt would stick, the crappy scope wobbled. The gun nut never bettered it.
And no cleaning kit. No empty shells. No shell boxes.  Nothing.

What excuse do you have for these?

No excuse needed. Whatever flaws the rifle had, real or imagined, the ballistics prove that someone killed JFK with that rifle. There is ample evidence that the someone was Oswald.

No proof of practice is needed. We have ample proof Oswald fired that rifle on 11/22/63. That is all that is needed.

Np surprise at all that you would scoff at ballistics evidence which has been used to solve countless gun crimes and convicted many bad guys.

 :D Chain of custody is not needed either huh?
Excuses abound.

Not at all. Your lame excuses for certain lack of evidence is entertaining enough.
