A clay pigeon on a fence post shot?
Yeah sure, that’s some real skeet shooting there boyo!
The Dear Leader is a complete joke. One has to imagine the “official” picture was photoshopped. He’s never held a gun in his pathetic life!
Strange, Obama shoots a clay pigion crossing the road.
Lets not forget that skeet shooting is not what the 2nd is truly about
I’ve never seen anyone use dark lens when shooting sheet, usually its vermilion, orange, yellow and clear. They make a gray lens but it’s not popular among my shooting crowd. Makes me think photo op.
That pic looks like it was taken Fort Marcy Park!
(Cue the twilight zone music)
Where is the wooden fence that was around the Camp David Skeet Range?

Original picture - where are the black arms for a black President - Does he have his Mother’s white arms only? Looks pretty white and not black.
Several things are amiss here.
Though it appears to be a break-open over/under, the bottom tube looks odd.
I’ve never seen a port job that is out of the top of the barrel and over/unders I don’t believe are ported(?) since how do you port the lower barrel?
Lastly, is he firing black-powder shells? I’ve never seen smokeless powder put out that much smoke.
Everything this doosh touches turns to crap. And then they wonder why we are skeptical about anything and everything to do with him.
Of course THEY don’t want this photo altered in any way. To do so would ruin their alterations.
Probably photoshopped.
Several observations from that picture:
1. It was probably taken at the Secret Service Skeet competition. It is not his shotgun because it is righthanded.
2. The smoke is unusual and could be explained as incomplete combustion of the powder due to low pressure at combustion time. Modern powder burns faster and more thoroughly at higher pressures. Shot guns run from 8,000 to 12,000 psi. I suspect that he shot a short loaded blank and there was no shot in the round.
3. There is no recoil in the picture. The cheek should be distorted, the shoulder should be distorted and his body position would be different, more upright as the back absorbed the recoil.
4. Not only is his stock position on the shoulder wrong it would be very painful as there is only half of the stock butt on his shoulder. Very painful with a 12 gauge. Screaming pain. I can also surmise from the shoulder position that he has never shot a rifle.
5. I am not sure where the smoke on the left side port went. It may have been photoshopped out. Or perhaps he never fired the gun and all the smoke was photoshopped in. It is simply missing.
He’s a newbie.
My wife looked at this photo and said “Something just doesn’t look right. That is not a man who knows how to handle a gun”.
Here Mr. President, please hold this gun. We will photoshop in some gunsmoke.
Picture is as phony as his BC.
That gun looks like my Browning Citori 525. I have the left hand model. The only difference between left and right hand in an over under is the cast, or the angle of the heal of the stock. He is shooting the thing like it is a rifle (not good!), with a shotgun you shoot with a more open stance, more like you are fighting someone. The recoil on that gun isn’t bad since it weighs about 8 pounds. Either the bottom choke is missing or it has a recessed choke. It is possible that it is missing as this is supposedly a skeet range, and the difference between a skeet choke and the cylinder is very little. Of course this is a good way to ruin the threads in the barrel of your gun. The gun is indeed ported. The smoke you see is only seen in photos (for the most part). I would like to know his score. My guess is that it is low single digits. Someone mentioned that they thought he was shooting awful low. If you are shooting your crossing stations that is probably about the right angle for the shot. Besides, we don’t know that hit any thing. The photo caption should have been that Obama shoots near clays, as I doubt he actually connects that often.
