Mine grew up in the mining towns in Idaho. He wasn't ever an amazing shot like what you describe, but he's always really lucky when ne needs to be. He's also really good about knowing when he just got really lucky and stopping and acting like it was planned. People that know him will just roll their eyes, but those that just see him test fire a pistol and unscrew the cap off a milk jug at 20 feet by grazing the cap, then saying, "Eh seems to go where I point it", walk away stunned.
On the whole, he's a really good shot. The guy that ran the custom gunsmith shop next to his old range would bring thing to my dad to test fire as the final step before deciding to send them on.
I've mentioned some of the arguments on this thread and other JFK threads to him and his view is that there was never any question the shots were possible for Oswald. It would have been easier than than hitting a running rabbit.
