No
A. We don't agree that there were experts.
B. We don't agree that anyone tried to replicate the shooting.
C. We don't agree that Oswald was shooting on 11/22/63.

Some tests were done which give us some clues.

Anthony Marsh is one of the presumed "critics" in the alt.assassination.jfk forum... unfortunately, he's just another sheep in wolves' clothing...

Only someone completely unfamiliar with shooting would try to assert that the three NRA rated "Masters" who shot the Mannlicher Carcano for the Warren Commission were not experts, as Anthony just did.

Indeed, it would be extremely difficult to find people more qualified. Perhaps an Olympics shooting champion?

Anthony claims that no-one tried to replicate the shooting. And it's true that the test conducted by the Warren Commission gave every possible advantage to their "test" - such as only firing from half the height... at oversized stationary targets rather than moving targets... and with all the time the shooters wanted before beginning their shots...

These are the sorts of facts that even a supposed "critic" will not dare to bring up in the alt.assassination.jfk forum.

And, as I predicted, not one single person has mentioned the rifle issue... you cannot have a valid test without using the same alleged rifle. It had unique operational problems - and trying to simulate the shooting sequence with a better rifle doesn't demonstrate anything at all.

You can't find the truth at alt.assassination.jfk. "Professor" McAdams is simply a disinformationalist.
