WH releases photo of Obama shooting skeet

[kraigwy]

I ask "skeet" and "trap" shooters this:

Look at that picture and tell me he's shooting skeet. It's staged, shooting a shotgun like one would shoot a rifle.

Find some pictures of someone shooting skeet, or go to a shotgun range and watch the shooters.

It's a crock.

I wish i could get the guys that shoot skeet with me to shoot like that, should help me win a lot more.

I though the ports on a O/U shotgun were on each side of the barrels, not on the top of the top barrel, so why is there only gas coming from one set of ports and not two? From the amount of smoke,is he shooting black powder? I am very suspicious of this photo. There are too many things wrong with it.

So, the guy doesn't know the first thing about skeet shooting and shooting a shotgun. He makes up for it by being a top notch golfer. Most places have many more golf courses than they do shooting ranges.

awful lot of smoke for a non black powder shotty, eh?

Have you ever heard read, seen a word, or pix of him shooting anything, ever, before the gun grab topic came up. (shooting his mouth off doesn't count)
You can bet if he ever really touched that shotgun he rubbed Purell all over to "cleanse himself".

Note, the heel of the stock is high above his shoulder & the line of sight above the barrel is higher than his eye.

Puts me in mind of "staged" Ever watch a newbee mount a gun for the first time?

* Whats with the jet of smoke coming off the side of the gun
* If the object at the end of the barrel is the is the shot wad, how did the flash get in front of it
* If that is not the wad, why no recoil?

Your question, maybe? Mine, "what's right with it?"

Makes my skin crawl.

My first reaction was "staged photo." Note that the shotgun is nearly level (clay pigeons are high in the air, remember?) and he is wearing no gear that is common among trap and skeet competitors.

I am prohibited from discussing politics, so I won't.

Obviously a staged photo. There's no teleprompter with the word "BANG!"

Pandering, blatant pandering.

Someone needs to photoshop smoke coming from his rear.

No kidding!!

Is that a vented barrel or was it made by Morton Thiokol?

Nope, that's one of those evil flash hiders. He's just demonstrating that 1 military feature is OK.

Oh, and I vote for staged photo too.

Q On a different topic, how often does the President go skeet shooting? (Laughter.) And are there photographs of him doing so?

MR. CARNEY: I would refer you simply to his comments. I don't know how often. He does go to Camp David with some regularity, but I'm not sure how often he's done that.

Q Is there a photograph of him doing it?

MR. CARNEY: There may be, but I haven't seen it.

Q Why haven't we heard about it before?

MR. CARNEY: Because when he goes to Camp David, he goes to spend time with his family and friends and relax, not to produce photographs.

Q Jay.

MR. CARNEY: Yes, Major and then Wendell.
