Oswald was an average Marine marksmen which in fact DOES make him an exceptional marksmen in comparison to the rank and file population. Finally the target was less than 100 yards which is easy for any Marine even with a substandard rifle. While it is true the target was moving the moving aspect was almost DIRECTLY away from Oswald making for a very easy shot as the target was only shrinking in his sight and very slowly. People ignore that it would have been a little trickier to shoot from the grassy knoll as the shooter would have to lead the target which would have moved across his line of sight from left to right. Oswald's position made it easier.
