In March 1963, Oswald purchased a 6.5 mm caliber Carcano rifle... The Warren Commission concluded that on April 10, 1963, Oswald attempted to kill retired U.S. Major General Edwin Walker, firing his rifle at Walker through a window, from less than 100 feet away, as Walker sat at a desk in his home; the bullet struck the window-frame and Walker's only injury was bullet fragments to the forearm

He couldn't hit a stationary target from 100 feet in April... but by November, he could hit 2 of 3, at a moving target, at more than double the distance. Mm hmm.

Walker got extremely lucky. He moved just as the shot was fired. The trajectory showed that had he not he would have been killed. It was a good shot.
