In the following stabilized clip I've got the shot in the early 150's which is generally accepted as the first shot and as predicted several frames later we have the first of Zapruder's vertical flinches and virtually simultaneously with Zapruder's flinch Connally quickly turns to look over his right shoulder.

"Generally accepted"  :D

We had just made the turn, well, when I heard what I thought was a shot. I heard this noise which I immediately took to be a rifle shot. I instinctively turned to my right because the sound appeared to come from over my right shoulder, so I turned to look back over my right shoulder,...

Pity you didn't complete the testimony, John.

 .....and I saw nothing unusual except just people in the crowd, but I did not catch the President in the corner of my eye, and I was interested, because once I heard the shot in my own mind I identified it as a rifle shot, and I immediately--the only thought that crossed my mind was that this is an assassination attempt.
So I looked, failing to see him, I was turning to look back over my left shoulder into the back seat, but I never got that far in my turn. I got about in the position I am in now facing you, looking a little bit to the left of center, and then I felt like someone had hit me in the back.

One of the seven Warren Commisison members, Senator Richard Russell had this (recorded) conversation with his good buddy, President Lyndon Johnson:

RUSSELL: - The commission believes that the same bullet that hit Kennedy hit Connally. Well, I don't believe it.
JOHNSON: - I don't either.

Yeah Connally goes on to say he was hit with the second bullet, so whats your point?

Wow Howard. Did he actually tell you this or is just another of your assumptions?

Ray, Connally does tell us he was hit by the second shot.

He also tells us that he heard the first shot, turned to try to see JFK but couldn't.

Connally only assumed JFK was hit by the first shot.

What's so hard to understand ?

After he heard the shot that hit JFK. So, not the same bullet. So no SBT.

There is nothing wrong with that at all.

I had KFC today and it was awesome.  ;D

DVPs web site on JFK is one of the best l have ever seen.

Can you tell what DVPs chicken shop has to do with the OP and then can you explain why it was mentioned in the first place?

He never says he saw Kennedy shot?

Correct, he didn't say heard JFK hit. He said he was hit after the shot he heard.
