Where did you get that idea? Bowles clearly states that his zero-base time was arbitrary. He says nothing about when the shots occurred with regard to the accuracy of the clocks, and the shots (at least in his opinion) are not audible on the recording.
There are a lot of things that LN-ers claim “general consensus” on that are not demonstrable.
Bowles clearly states that his zero-base time was arbitraryQuite the contrary:
From chapter one of Bowles’ report:
By noting the stated times and the duration of messages in the minutes preceding the incident of the open microphone, I have, for practical purposes, fixed the time for the start of the five-minute open mike episode at 12:29:10 p.m. (Channel 1 time). Time statements broadcast later confirm this as a rational assumption. (See PART II, CHAPTER FIVE for technical details demonstrating this confirmation.)

5. For an accurate, although derived, time reference point, 12:29:10 (Channel 1), the time the mike stuck open, will be developed and used in this textDefinition of
derived from the dictionary:
Obtain something from a specified source; (As used in mathematics):
obtain (a function or equation) from another by a sequence of logical steps, for example by differentiation
Definition of
arbitrary from the dictionary:
based on random choice or personal whim, rather than any reason or system
You can read the technical details in his report. I have provided his information as to where you can find them. I read them and understand that it is based on an officer witnessing the front of the motorcade passing under the triple underpass immediately after the shooting.
Is it the exact time? No
It is reasonably accurate for practical purposes.
And it is definitely not arbitrary. You are simply wrong. And just like you claim Dale Myers to be, you will not admit it......
