Well... yes, I agree. But in this case both distances were rather close with people packed all along both sides of the route. People pointed to both the grassy knoll and the windows. My guess is that two shooters were angled for the going away shot if Oswald - for some reason - failed to take the 'toward' shot.

I think the reason Oswald missed his first going away shot is that he was rattled... which is why he didn't take the toward shot. I'm just guessing that whoever shot Kennedy was the second shooter on the going away route.

Oswald was a piss-poor shot who was unnerved all the way through - and, in fact, was a conspirator as well as a patsy.

Sounds reasonable.
