I've read material where people scoff at the idea if Oswald was a good enough shot. Making claims, "He shot a 212 in qualification, a sharpshooter, 2 points short of the lowest qualification class of marksman."
It's also 8 points close to the highest qualification class, Expert. The difference between marksman and expert from a points standpoint could be as few as 3 shots in 50, where each shot is worth 5 points. 220 expert is technically 2 shots. You could be shooting all day as expert, get on the 500 meter line, (yes 500 meters) with a rifle without any external support. Miss 2 shots, and whoala, you get a pizza box (marksman badge) on your chest and not cross rifles (expert).
