I live in Dallas, and the best place to see the Book Depository and the Plaza, along with the Grassy Knoll is from the Observation Deck of the Antares Restaraunt. (Its the big ball-onna-stick that you can see in the Dallas skyline)
I've always thought that Oswald would have been too far away from JFK to shoot him accurately, but he would have had a beautiful shot compared to the person on the Grassy Knoll. Don't forget: there were hundreds of people lining the streets that day to see JFK. There were also several FBI agents and Secret Service men walking close to that car. The Grassy Knoll really isn't much of a Knoll, its more of a gently sloping area with maybe 2 feet of elevation. That would have given any person standing there a wretched view of the moving vehicle when JFK was shot.
So in my opinion, even if there were another shooter, he would have less of a chance of actually hitting JFK than Oswald.
