Believers cannot explain these facts - nor will they try...

Up and to the right.....exactly what was the "lead" on the target given the motion of the car in Dealey Plaza......? About the same......?

Sorry Patrick, the targets used by the Warren Commission test were stationary. Far easier than a moving target. Why can't you deal with the topic? Why the attempt to move it into something with no bearing on this test?

Patrick C Wrote:Anyway, I just cannot agree with your logic on the WC tests. You do not know if the scope was knocked slightly or if the scope was used at all........

The Warren Commission asserted that the scope was used. They assured us that it was an advantage to fast and accurate shooting.

Unless you're willing to call the Warren Commission liars, you'll have to stick with the official story.

That includes THREE shots... and the use of the scope.

Patrick C Wrote:All you need do is show that the rifle could be fired twice in 5 to 6 seconds and that a target could be struck at least once and you show the assassination was achievable. It is that simple.

And continues to fail to explain the fact that the Warren Commission test failed... or why believers always cite the CBS test.

Indeed, you're getting dangerously close to a charge of cowardice...

Why is the CBS test invariably cited instead of the Warren Commission test?

And why did the Warren Commission test do so poorly in comparison to the CBS test - despite the many advantages held by the Warren Commission shooters?

Patrick C Wrote:You do not need to duplicate / replicate the exact same scenario as Dallas.

Strawman.

No-one has made that claim.

No-one.

Patrick C Wrote:If the tests had shown it was impossible to fire 2 shots in 5.2 seconds fine....but they did not. You could fire twice and aim using the scope every 2.3 seconds.......so timing wise there is NO issue. Oswald had a full 5 seconds for the head shot almost certainly.

Which of those scoped two shots struck the head or neck of JFK?
