Can't vouch for that phoney looking Obama
picture released by the White House but this
is guaranteed to be an authentic digital graphic.

The recently released photograph of President Obama reportedly “Taken at Camp David – the Maryland presidential retreat – on August 4, 2012, his 51st birthday,” is a complete fake.
As a lifelong shotgunner, I immediately smelled a rat. Nothing in the photo looks right and upon closer examination, it is a complete fraud.
One need go no further than examining the ports on the shotgun. ... One will immediately notice that there is smoke coming from the right side of the gun in the photo as well as out the front. The only problem is that there is no smoke coming from the ports on the left side of the gun, clearly seen in the photo suggesting that the smoke was doctored into the photo. ...
To add insult to injury, the smoke pictured is not clearly defined and appears to be moved by wind. At this stage in the firing process, this phenomenon would be nearly impossible. The smoke should look like it is being rapidly forced out small holes instead of something wafting from a chimney....
One need go no further than the port evidence to prove fraud, but further evidence shows that the President was not shooting “Skeet.” ... If he were shooting skeet, there would be a skeet house over the shooter’ shoulder from this camera angle. There is none. Additionally, his barrel is almost horizontal and that would not be consistent with someone shooting skeet. At a minimum, it would be elevated at around a forty-five degree angle to almost vertical. ...
Further evidence would suggest that the smoke in the photo is somewhat heavy and is more consistent with the kind of smoke coming from a blackpowder gun, not a modern shotgun. ...

And Dear Leader shot 100 out of 100 sporting clays. After that, Dear Leader played a brisk game of golf, with 18, yes, 18 consecutive holes in one!
Then to cool down, he went to the local velodrome and shattered the world record for the kilometer, with a stunning time of 59.879 seconds, riding his mountain bike and wearing mom jeans! We are still awaiting certification of this by the UCI.
(Sorry folks, just was reading a bit about the Kim dynasty in Norkland.)
but some people on facebook are having a grand old time with it.
I liked 58 better, sounds painful.
I bet she can shoot skeet too and doesn't hold the fore end that far forward either. I don't. I just got my Browning O/U out, a nearly identical model, and shouldered it a few times to note my stance and my hold. No matter how fast I force my self to do it I don't end up with the butt that high on my shoulder and I grip the fore end further back just like all of these shotgunners...
Yeah, I read an article and saw that this was supposedly taken on Aug 4, 2012 at Camp David. I suppose they let Obama and any of his guests have fun with guns. You know, Bill Ayers and folks like him... OBVIOUSLY they don’t have to pass a background or citizenship check, or neither Obama nor his pals would be able to use the guns.
Do you mean the porting? The little holes in the sides of the barrel? They release excess gasses reducing muzzle rise and felt recoil. One reason you won’t find porting on the bottom of the barrel.
I aked Moderator to zot 58, that was a BAAAD typo. I key next to O. Must remember to proofread.
Holy cow, this pic of Skeeter with the shotgun is going to show up everywhere for months !! Much like “looter guy” and the “dude with the sunglasses” before him. The LAST thing the WH should have said was, don’t photoshop this picture. Hahahahahahahahahahahaha.

Honestly, I am an oddball and always uses side-by-side doubles but configuration is the same... sort of. Generally speaking, on a double barrel, you will have one barrel choked "Full" and the other choked "Modified" or "Improved". It depends on the gun and this applies to fixed choke configurations.
Others like this one are not choked at all, both barrels are the same and are machined and threaded to accept insert tubes or screw-on tips so the shooter can customize the choke how he thinks fit for the situation. The extended tube choke he has in the top barrel is more a marketing gimmick than anything else. Some would argue, but the idea is that the shot load is choked down in a more gradual fashion and produces more consistent patterns and less deformed shot pellets. Most guys just like them because you don't need a wrench to swap them...
Why he is only using one is open for discussion. I see this from time to time when guys borrow from another shooter because they don't have what they need on hand, who knows in this situation.
Is there any way that the last word Presidency can be changed to the “Occupier (OWS) at the Present Residency of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, better known as the White House.” What more do you expect from a fraud?
It was amusing though.

You are really defending this fraud. That applies to both the picture and the person.
Like the joke of a BC the White House created in 2011 we need to she this President handling the gun live and in person to believe this. Digital images ain’t cutting it.
Even Kennedy had film of real skeet shooting.
Hey, at least they flattened the layers this time. Good going this time kiddies.
I see not indication of recoil. And, a side port?
The shotguns I’ve fired didn’t smoke like that and thanks for that info.
Thank you- my only laugh this weekend, but a good one!
From what I see he’s not even “dressed” for skeet shooting. Secondly the shotguns I’ve fired never smoked like that. And third there doesn’t seem to be any recoil. Plus he didn’t pee himself when the gun went off.
It’s a cool looking gun. To bad he’s (mis)using it.
Not to mention, this photo is taken from a position down range of the shooter. It could be a really long lens, but what range master is going to allow someone to be even slightly down range in a dynamic shooting situation like this? Look at any photos of anyone shooting clay pigeons, and you will see they are all shot from a position behind the shooter.
