The Warren Commission published his old Marine targets. They were upper body silhouette targets. The score range was centered on the upper chest area. The top of the head area was considered “off target”. This type of training allowed shooters to be off-target by many inches and still score a hit and a kill. I don’t think he was aiming for the head at all, just the upper body.
