Squishy thing hit with rifle round. Which direction did the bullet come from, relative to the camera?

Quick, document how much practice I've had.
Of course, this being Texas he may have just driven out into the country and shot it, but wait, he didn't have a driver's license did he?
Because it's not possible to find a few redneck buddies who'll take you out of town to plink?

Not germain, I don't know you, but I'll bet people who do could. And besides, we have had decades, nothing quick about it.

And not one of them stepped up to say he had taken Oswald out to plink?

Who would admit to that?

Any of the numerous people who spoke of their relationships with him.

Not really. Most of my practice has been on private property or at ranges where I paid cash. Not likely the range folks would remember my face after a month or two.

So you have never shot with someone who knows you?

People at the range who see you when you come in and pay cash will never remember you? OK, but if the range is that well used, someone will remember you.

Sorry, pare it down as fine as you want, but in all of these decades no one has been found who ever saw Oswald sighting in the rifle.

And dropping down to that level is not honest discussion.

Oswald did practice at least once on a live target, Maj. General Edwin Walker. Per Handbook of Texas History.

"On April 10, 1963, Walker was victim of an assassination attempt while he sat at a desk in his Dallas home; the bullet missed by inches. It was later discovered that Lee Harvey Oswald had taken the shot at Walker. Marina Oswald later revealed that her husband admitted to her that he had attempted to kill Walker. Photographs of Walker's house were found in Oswald's apartment after the Kennedy assassination, and the FBI matched the bullet found at Walker's residence with fragments recovered in the Kennedy assassination. He apparently had used the same rifle both times."

And we all know it's not possible for evidence to be planted. The bullet recovered from Walkers house, was it a magic bullet too?

Since it was seven month's prior to JFK's death it could be they pre-planted the evidence for later use. Better yet may be Maj. General Walker was in on it with Oswald since he and the Kennedy's didn't exactly see eye to eye. Attorney General Robert Kennedy issued a warrant for Walker's arrest on the charges of seditious conspiracy, insurrection, and rebellion in 1961. Yeah! that's it ! The General had Oswald fake the attempt on him so he wouldn't be implicated just in case they caught the general on the grassy knoll after HE fired the fatal shot! JMHO

OK, so I'm still waiting for someone to explain to me how Jack Ruby became a player in this "no conspiracy" murder.

Just about as believable as "Oswald did it"

And, as the article pointed out, he "missed by inches" on a non-moving target from a better shooting position at a similar range.
