The first shot at 175 feet would be around z208 according to the FBI survey (CE884. It also does not have the oak tree or the street curve.  But it does show how similar all three shots are in terms of rifle position and aim if the first shot was around z208 from a downward angle starting at 21.8 degrees and ending at 15.4 degrees.  The lateral angle isn’t given but it doesn’t change much. 

According to CE883, position A is in the middle of Elm St. intersecting with the extension of the west side of Houston St. just east of the TSBD. At that point the downward angle is 40.2 degrees according to CE884.  A shot at z124 would be close to that 40 degrees making a next shot at z222 a difference of close to 20 degrees. I can’t see even an inexperienced shooter choosing to fire two shots that would require such quick and significant repositioning.

Nonsense.

At least the producers at CBS agreed with me that the first shot didn’t miss.

Nobody agrees with you. That would be silly. They tested only the WC's second shot miss scenario. That scenario requires the first shot to be the single bullet. Since you reject the single bullet theory, that means they didn't agree with you. They came up with their own mistake.

Since they chose the wrong scenario, it's not surprising they would reach the wrong conclusion.

They were testing a shot sequence that does not conflict with the evidence. That’s all I was saying.  They were just trying to see if three shots beginning about z208 and ending at z313 could be made. The found that it was possible. And, in at least one case, none missed.

You seem to think that I somehow invented the three shot no miss scenario.  Anyone looking at the evidence can see that there is evidence that each of the three shots struck in the limo.  If that wasn’t the case the WC would not have had a section explaining why they could not determine which shot missed.
