IDK what to say, but tests have been run and it's not that crazy a kill for 1 shooter. Focused, motivated and locked it, it still took 3 shots, not just 1.

We may be thinking of the same 'test' you inferred.
Some years ago I watched a tv production by a group that set up a simulation of the assassination geometry - complete with all the spatial coordinates for every object in the scene = height and distance of shooter, location and speed of the limo, dummies for bodies in the vehicle all in their proper spatial location during the episode and a tower with the shooter in the proper location and view (don't recall if they had the 'tree' obstruction' in the scene, but if not they heeded the restriction that would have put on the view from the sniper site.
They then ran the vehicle thru the scene and had a marksman shoot from his perch.
The marksman had no problem at all with the timing of the shots and made better hits than Oswald.
That setup also settled (for me) the claim about the mysterious 'third bullet that hit Governor Connally = the seats of the POTUS and First Lady were elevated quite a bit higher than with a stock limo of the time used for the Presidential vehicle. That made the trajectory of the bullet very easy to imagine without having to introduce a totally new weapon at another location.

To me, that simulation was very persuasive. At that time, my job entailed tracking positions of objects in space - specifically the docking geometry of the Gemini/Agena mission.

I was totally in synch with the one-shooter interpretation of the actual scene after that.

I can accommodate as many theories of the why and who were responsible for the plot - (still think LBJ was the top dawg in that) - but the location and methodology of the shooter is hard fact to me now, awaiting results of even more detailed analysis than the simulation scenario I described above.

And. I am not discounting any sort of treachery from the FBI/CIA/LBJpolitics from that suspicion. I still find it hard to think that this was all a one-man show from start to finish.
