Hi Drew
It's hard to really discern much just from looking at the three targets. Were they aiming at the heart or the head? How many shots with scope and open sights were fired? From what I can see, it looks like only one open sight shot actually hit the target. Was there much text to help explain this?
The one I find most intriguing is the layout of Elm St., and the fact that one of the targets was shot at 270 feet, or 90 yards, and another target was shot at 264 feet, or 88 yards; a mere 2 yard (6 feet) difference. It would be very interesting to know why these two distances were chosen.
If the limo was travelling at 10-12 mph, as we are told, it would cover, in the space of a second, 14.6-17.6 feet. As it requires a minimum of 2 seconds to reload and fire a rifle, there should be at least 30 feet between the impact of two shots unless, of course, the limo had stopped or come to a near stop.
This is rather fascinating, as there are eyewitness accounts (Moorman, Altgens) of the fatal head shot taking place further down Elm St. than the location depicted in Zapruder film frame z313.
And while it is also believed that the Polaroid taken by Mary Ann Moorman was also at the exact moment of z313, this may also not be true. Watch this recent interview with Ms. Moorman, paying particular interest to what she has to say beginning about 1:30.

Mr. HILL. The right rear portion of his head was missing. It was lying in the rear seat of the car. His brain was exposed. There was blood and bits of brain all over the entire rear portion of the car. Mrs. Kennedy was completely covered with blood. There was so much blood you could not tell if there had been any other wound or not, except for the one large gaping wound in the right rear portion of the head.
