Hmmm, I use shooting muffs and they don't get in the way when I shoot my over/unders in trap and Sporting Clays.
One other thing. I'm a leftie and I wear my watch on my left arm. Does that make me wrong?

Well at least he isn't wearing another pair of "Mom Jeans" that he borrowed from Michelle.

I can hear the Secret Service Guy, " No Mr.President, this end goes against your shoulder." His form is awful, too bad his Coach wasn't better.
Camp David?, could I pull my RV back East and shoot clays with the Prez? I wonder how much they charge for camping per night?, full hook ups, of course.
Best, Rick

Screw in Choke; they come both flush with the end of the barrel and extended. The extended ones are knurled to screw in by hand instead of a wrench and there is a color coded ring on the end so you can tell which tube you have by sight; a different color for each choke restriction. Often extended tubes are used only in the top barrel - it gets used more and helps keep fouling away from the end of the lower barrel.

Why wasn't this picture released back in August, when it was supposedly taken? Might have been good for his campaign if it had actually happened.

I wear mine on my left hand...most of us were, as kids taught by a rightie...so we just continue.What we need is a photo of him chewing the guy at the next station up & down for not having a brass catcher on his M1100 and bouncing a hull off his $3500 skeet queen...
And yes, Barack Hussein Obama is of the sinister persuasion. It's unusual to see a President wear a watch at all & there are numerous photos of this one wearing it on his left hand, again unusual. Lefties usually wear it on the right.
Ooooops, missed thatGood catch!
That reminds me of the time when I was in a store and the guy was looking at an Stoeger Condor (OU) 12ga. He asked the clerk; "How many shells does it hold?"
The clerk just didn't know what to say, for a moment. He even looked at me, and I just started laughing. I couldn't help myself.
This was the only photo? No standing around with his buddies BSing? No one looking on? No walking to the next station?
Why, one might think this was staged!

Maybe Obama's shooting skeet like this?
Browning Citori (Skeet gun fun) - YouTube
hickok45's shotgun makes similar smoke clouds as Obama's, although they are less well defined. But that could be due to watching hickok's from behind. Doesn't look like much recoil, but hickok's a big guy and leaning into it, whereas Obama's a lightweight and standing straight up.

It's always been my understanding that it's worn on the non dominant hand to avoid wear, snagging, etc. I would think this would have been a problem back in the day of windup wrist watches.

I have a few different idea's about whats going on in that photo.
First its obviously staged that's a given like others pointed out
Lack of recoil
Potions the rifle is being held
fact he not carrying any extra shells
position of the gun when fired
I bet that picture was either photo shopped or its a prop gun like they use in movies. Either answer explains the lack of ejected gas out the left side also answers why there is no recoil (since a prop gun uses blanks).
The other thing is over and under shotguns are not cheap (at least the ones I have seen). My understanding is most of them are hand built by custom companies. Shotguns are not really my thing so I am just talking about what I have read in mags.
I have a hard time believing we hadn't seen a story in the new's about some famous shotgun manufacture custom making the president his over and undershot gun. The president never does anything low key. Seem's ever thing he does is a giant event from his factions to his trips over sea's.
I think the photo was a poor attempt to pacify American's in a losing battle. He is finding out what Clinton found out the hard way. Mess with Americans guns and you will be looking for a new job because we will get angry and we will vote.

I haven't had an issue in nearly 50 years of wearing a watch. I do take it off when doing car restoration.
But since I was taught some stuff leftie and some rightie I don't really have a dominant hand. I shoot left because my left eye is dominant. I left eye with camera but the buttons are set for a rightie.

Well I still think he's shooting them on the ground. You gotta let them skeets get up in the air so they have a fighting chance.

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.
I've been shooting SC and Skeet for years wearing my Pro Ears muffs. Also, wonder why only the top barrel has an extended choke installed? No choke in lower barrel is visible.

I don't believe its photoshop mainly because it was shot sometime earlier in the season. No snow and he's wearing short sleeves. But its staged.
1. Too shoot at that angle, he would have to been shooting from station 6 or 7. To get that particular angle, the photographer would have to had caught a portion of the low house.
2. He's clinching the gun rather hard. Means he is anticipating recoil. Generally, not someone accustomed to shooting would do.
3. Stance is wrong. Weight is on his back foot. Typically what a newbie would do.
With all the secrete service personnel around him, one must have some experience with shotgunning and pointed out his flaws.

Re: Obama with a gun photos
Does anyone else think it is stupidly ironic that, while he's pushing for sweeping new gun control regs, the white house has to put out pics of Obama shooting a gun to make him more "legit"?

Seems to me that the picture is to show that he really likes guns. He's not against "evil guns" (so all the hunters can calm down - he doesn't want their shotguns), he's just against "evil assault weapons".
You know - propaganda.
