Au contraire, several people did it -- hit a target moving at the same speed and distance, within the time of the actual event -- in a 1975 TV special by CBS News, when they were a real news organization. JFK was only 85 yards away, and in the army LHO was accomplished at hitting targets
200 yards away.

But there was nothing magic about that bullet. The way JFK and Connally were actually sitting in the car -- Connally inboard and turned at an angle -- their wounds line up perfectly with the sixth floor window. Plus the bullet's not really in "pristine" condition.

Then read "Case Closed" by Gerald Posner. He methodically demolishes a lot of the distortions and falsehoods that everybody "knows" about the case, and comes to a shocking conclusion: the Warren Commission was basically right, except for mixing up the order of the shots.
Let's face it, there's a cottage industry dedicated to perpetuating the conspiracy myth. Given that it's given them a good livelihood (and an undeserved career boost, in the case of Jim Garrison), some people will argue long and hard.
And DON'T get me started about Oliver Stone...
