hi @MacD, I have a model myself using the James Copenhaver footage to adjust the heights of the bleacher to match his eye sight. My conclusion is the first bullet came from Crooks position. The error at David Dutch position is minimal considering it came from Crooks. I even considered the drift and drop due to ballistics.
The critics to this analysis say I can’t use James’s footage because the time of his footage is not the time when his is been filmed by the North bleacher footage, so by luck he could have sat in the bleacher during his footage. The North bleacher footage captures James 131 seconds before and 110 seconds after James footage, in both footages he is standing up as everybody is. For me if he was sitting on the bleacher, he would be seeing the heads of the people in the front row and it’s not the best way to film Trump.
As I explained the error in all the measurements done by 3D models lead to the wrong conclusion, and an error of 1 foot at Trump position lead to an error of 6 foot at Crooks position. Google earth heights are not that accurate.
Here is line of sight of James Copenhaver camera:
line of fire on David, Trump and Crooks:
The line of fire come from 1.2 inches above the rail and 3.9 inches to the West of David Dutch center line.
