IMPOSSIBLE to refute this: how could anyone fire the rifle this fast?

Let's be clear. They weren't aiming for the head. They were aiming for the center of the target. But even so, their "success" rate was far less than Oswald's purported "success" rate, as their hits were not as close to the center of the target as the hits attributed to Oswald. 

Here are the targets for shots 1 and 2. For the the first of these the test shooters were given all the time they needed, after performing some warm-up shots. (The hits attributed to Oswald are marked by red stars.) Now notice how their accuracy drops off considerably on the second target, after they began rapid fire. And then realize that the first shot attributed to Oswald was also rapid fire, as this shot is purported to have occurred as the limo cleared the trees.

Didn't Frazier testify that the aiming was high & to the right?
The all look low and to the left?

Frazier was FBI. He tested the rifle as it was found, with the scope askew. The FBI then adjusted the scope, but the rifle still fired a bit high and to the right.

Months later, at the urging of the Warren Commission, the rifle was given to the Army, for testing by its test shooters. They had a weapons expert add shims to the scope mount, so that the scope was now aligned with the rifle. To no avail. They still couldn't replicate Oswald's purported feat. 

Here are the FBI targets showing the accuracy of the scope and rifle as found.
