Sorry, that was a bad mistake on my part. Thanks for the correction, Ebbie.

Rapaire, Bonar Menninger's book Mortal Error has just about the most exhaustive ballistics analysis yet published, and it has much detail about the missing/withheld forensic evidence and its significance. I must say I find the book's conclusion slightly loopy, but I know a couple of people who have followed the case closely over many years who think this the most plausible explanation.

Ron, military training doesn't make you a worldclass marksman. The book cited above reports how some of the best shots in the US faired in trying to emulate Oswald's feat. It seems that none can do it consistently, and Oswald was not in that league.
