WH releases photo of Obama shooting skeet

[rakstr]

I agree with the flat trajectory. Also, notice there is no apparent "rippling" in the soft tissue of the face and no visible body movement from the recoil. Looks staged in the "aim" position.

Now that I look there, isn't his right hand far too much forward and given the blast we see, shouldn't there also be an ejected shell in the air in this picture????

Happy to be told I'm wrong on all of these

Sounds like a BS publicity stunt to appeal to hunters and target shooters.

"See, there? I enjoy shooting too. I'm not after the guns used for legitimate purposes. I just don't think people need _____."



I call shenanigans.

Ooooops, missed that Good catch!

The rest is still in question though!!!!

I've seen the president photoshopped into pictures of
Napoleon in battle
George Washington crossing the Delaware
Abe Lincoln speaking from the back of a caboose
The Joker from Dark Knight
Kobe Bryant hitting a deep jumper
Even Betsey Ross sewing the flag

Now we have him as Elmer Fudd being berry berry quiet

So if a Honda Accord has a wing attached to the rear deck does that make it NASCAR ready?

Does it really matter if he has shot a gun? I have a good friend who has no use for guns in any way, but wanted to try so she could say she has done it. She put three rounds of .308 in the black at 50 yrds so I moved her out to 100, and she put one 2" above the X (right where it should have been). I pointed out that she was looking good for a first timer, and my son (her Godson) would love to spend some time working with her at the range. She replied with a flat "NO", she is happy to have tried but still can see no use for the thing's.
In the end just because POTUS has shot a firearm at a "skeet" no less does not mean a darn thing. Now when he joins a shooting club and signs up for the Thursday night league, then it might mean something.

It's easy to think you're a hero when your weapon of choice is a drone....

This is almost as dorky as Dukakis in the tank...

 

[Karnivore]

Fake!!!

Where is his shell bag or shooting vest. Is a servant handing him shells as he goes?

Nobody uses ear muffs to shoot clay sports, the muffs get in the way when you mount the gun.

Propaganda photo at its finest.

Ever seen his golf swing? Embarrassing.

negative ..... THIS is embarrassing

 

[Steve O]

My question is, were there any skeet hurt in this episode? Should we inform PETA?

 

[Tenn2]

I think his line of sight is a little low. The top of the barrel is even with the top of his cool shades!

 

[Popeye77]

He has bad form, but then that was his first time ever holding a gun, too bad they forgot to photoshop in the smoke coming out of the left side ports.

You caught that one too. Beat me to to it.

 

[R. G. Amos]

I don't see how his upper torso could possibly be in the almost vertical position immediately after firing even a 20 ga

 

[S&WIowegan]

This stuff would be hilarious if his 'people' didn't eat it up! This reminds me of Kerry in 2004 telling people how he low crawled with his shotgun to sneak up on the deers.

 

[Rule3]

Well then AP news is lying also. He smokes also. Gads!

Obama a skeet shooter? See new White House photo - Yahoo! News

Tea Kettle Steam

Our son has a similar Browning Citori 12 Ga. that is ported. I don't recall it producing "tea kettle" like steam.

I guess I haven't been paying attention.

Some of the most vehemently anti pistol/semi automatic are shotgun shooters...they think their type of gun should be legitimate, whereas anything else should be made illegal.

 

[walnutred]

Any guess as to what that small yellow thing is at the muzzle of the upper barrel? It cannot be the wad or smoke would not be in front of it. Even with a blank. My sons old Airsoft guns have similar plugs.
