Why the first shot missed

[Charles Collins]

The early shot alongside the boxes didn't work for me.

Interesting, are those vertical objects to the left of the boxes supposed to be the pipes?

[Charles Collins]

Yes. Sorry I'm such a poor 3D artist.

Something isn’t quite right. They shouldn’t be in his line of sight from his seat on the box.

He wasn't sitting on the box while firing any of the three shots.

Watch The Lost Bullet, again, for cryin' out loud.

I'll find out how many minutes into the video for you to start watching, and post it here for you, okay?

Edit:  The segment in The Lost Bullet where they analyze the sniper's positions, how the spent casings ended up where they did, etc., etc., starts at 43:56 ...

The box to the left of the pipe is the one he was sitting on (facing this way) while waiting for the limo to appear at Main and Houston.

He could lean far to his left and peek out the window from there.

What makes you think shots were taken while seated on the box? I should think that Oswald had to be right at that window in order to be seen from the street.

More WC "sleight of hand-y" work.
