The Warren Commission (WC) claimed that Lee Harvey Oswald (LHO) accomplished one of the greatest shooting feats ever on November 22, 1963.
People that actually have fired a shot disagree.
Carlos Hathcock, former senior instructor for the U.S. Marine Corps Sniper Instructor School in Quantico, VA, has this to say about it.

Let me tell you what we did at Quantico. We reconstructed the whole thing: the angle, the range, the moving target, the time limit, the obstacles, everything. I don't know how many times tried it, but we COULDN'T duplicate what the Warren Commission said Oswald did. Now, if I can't do it, how in the world could a guy was a NON-QUALIFIED on the rifle range and later only qualified "marksman" do it?

Good question. Notice that he failed to mention the HUGE tree being in the way as well! Or using a rifle with a loose scope. But wait, there's more!
The Israeli Mossad recreated the shooting as well and here is what they discovered.

According to Victor Ostrovsky, an Isreali Mossad agent, the Mossad also reenact the event: "To test their theory, they did a simulation exercise of the Presidential cavalcade to see if EXPERT marksmen with far BETTER equipment than Oswald's could hit a moving target from the recorded distance of 88 yards. They COULDN'T...The Mossad had every available film of the Dallas assassination. Pictures of the area, the topography, aerial photographs, everything. Using mannequins, they duplicated the Presidential cavalcade over and over again.
Professionals will do a job in the same way. If I'm going to use a high-powered rifle, there are very few places I'd work from, and ideally I would want a place I held the target for the longest ossible time, where I could get closest to it...we picked a few likely places, and we had more than one person doing the shooting from more than one angle...The Mossad, using better, more powerful equipment, would aim their rifles, they'd say "bang" over loudspeakers and a laser direction-finder would show where the people in the car would have been hit and the bullet exits. It was just an exercise which showed that it was IMPOSSIBLE to do what Oswald was supposed to have done."

I guess LHO just got lucky, huh? Sure.
