The President Shoots??
I started shooting skeet when I was just a kid. In my late teens (and when my eyes were still good), I shot a number of perfect rounds (25 out 25). Competitive shooters made fun of me because I shot a "side-by-side" double barreled 12 gauge. Any serious skeet shooter uses the more accurate over-and-under shotgun. I blew them away just the same.
Years ago, the rules for skeet were that if one missed a hit at any station, one had the option to take another shot. If there were no misses (or one chose to defer the option) in the regular round, the shooter ended up with one shell left out of the box of 25.
At the 8th, and final position on the skeet field, there is (in theory) a shot where both the high and low house targets cross. To get the shot, you have to be crouched low to the ground, and leaning outside of the box. I used to hold onto my option for the last shot in the hope of the elusive double. It was showboating, but one time I hit it, and it was (almost) better than sex. (I was maybe 19 at the time)
Anyway, I know a thing or two about skeet shooting. In this sport you have beginner shooters who don't really know what they are doing, you have amateurs that are "regular" shooters who take it seriously, and you have guys and gals that shoot 25 out of 25, again and again.
The following is a picture of a person who has not shot skeet before. This person doesn't know how to hold the gun properly. This person is going to get a big recoil in the arm that will hurt. No one has bothered to show this person how to hold a gun. This person has not been taught how to position the body to make a successful shot. This person has no chance of hitting a moving target. This person is not wearing the proper clothing for a skeet range (padded vest that has pockets for 25 shells). This person is pretending to shoot skeet. This is a photo-op:
I don't mean to make fun of the President's shooting skills. New shooters are always welcome on skeet ranges. I'm glad to see the Prez give this sport a shot, so to speak.
But the spin from the White House on this story is that Obama is banging away every weekend and he is an avid shooter. The president was quoted:
“I do it all the time”
The picture that the White House has offered up as "proof" that the president is a shooter is "fluff". This is an effort to spin things so that O looks like he is not an extremist on guns. The fact is, this picture tells us nothing, other than Obama is faking it. The WH picture is not of a guy who shoots skeet, it's a picture of a guy who likes to spin images.
Skeet shooters who do it "all the time" learn how to hold a gun and position their body. This is step number one in this (and most other) sports. These pictures are of people who have been on a range, and know the ABCs of shooting. Notice how they lean into the shot. (Also note that they are all shooting over-and-unders. It's like long handled putters - cheating, sort of, in my book...)
This is a picture of Kim Kardashian shooting skeet. This photo is also staged. Look how she is positioned and holding the gun. If Kim shoots this gun, she will get knocked on her ass, and she has no chance of hitting a thing. Maybe Kim and O should go shooting together. After all, it's just for show, right?

Not teflon, the 100% Jew owned and controlled media - pandering to his every move.
The Zionists don't like Hagel. If he keeps pissing them off, all the dirt we know is there will be on the boob tube 24/7.
The times, they could be changin'.
Did the person who provided the shotgun to Obama conduct a background check prior to giving him possession of the gun?
it kicked out the birth certificate, he was only allowed to shoot blanks in this photo
The moment I saw that picture Banzai immediately came to mind (grin).
Obama's Davey Crockett act is dumb. At that angle he should have hit at least two other pigeons on that one pull.
Nobody wraps their fingers around the barrel like that. Unless he's got some freakishly long reptillian fingers. It looks weird. The other weird thing is the strange puff of smoke going perpindicular.
They do wrap their fingers around the barrell to shoot "other" skeet......
And anybody that knows anything knows he would've held the shotgon sideways,....gangsta style!!
I DIDN'T HAVE SEX WITH MONICA
IRAQ HAS WMDS
OBAMA SHOOTS SKEET
You can get away with piss-poor technique if you're using light loads. I don't see any real issue, other than that I agree Obama's a fuckin' poseur.
Disgusting what this guy will do to shroud his agenda.
Wow! Produced a fake gun shooting photo a heck of a lot quicker than a fake birth certificate!!??!
That's because the Washington Post could find no evidence that Obama had ever shot skeet at Camp David. Obama had to produce some evidence that he had at least shot a gun sometime somewhere. Did the White House put a time and place with this picture?
who cares-O shoots while Rome burns. this is diversion for the masses and Bruce fell right into it.
otto s. Bruce fell for it cause he is all wacked ouy on chemtrails that he says do not exist. Poor boy.
He's probably a little off from watching too much t v and football.
It usually does it to you.
Ask his ex-wife.
She's the sane one.
Better watch yr back, Krasting.
Obama doesn't have to shoot ... anything. He can simply push a button and that drone will knock off whomever he doesn't like.
Why piddle around w/ shotguns when he has Hellfire missiles?
Or, yr taxes get audited forever ... or, yr labeled an islamic terrorist and can't get onto an airplane ... or, you are permanently denied health care ... or, denied auto insurance (horrors!)
If Obama wanted to put a dent in perception ... of him as a weakling ... he should launch an FBI investigation of NRA and Wayne LaPierre ... better than any ol' shotgun.
Now you've got me worried. Going out, checking for drones...
not drones, an audit a challenge to some of your articles, a look at your computer's hard drives, a friendly talk with you ISP and maybe even Google

Maybe Bruce would rather know why he gets his "bullet" as opposed to the useful idiots who's last thought before they get one in the back of the head will be "but I supported this guys agenda"
actually what happened to Cramer when he went crazy on Obama back in jan 2009 -- calling O a Lenninist etc.
fast forward TheStreet was charged with accounting fraud meanwhile Cramer became O's biggest fan
you'll know they got to Bruce when....
I don't watch TV but the story I just heard on Joyce Riley's "The Power Hour" said the President was behind the Sandy Hook massacre. I believe he is a shooter.
Having worked construction all my life and listening to the brothers talk I know one thing for sure and they will all tell you this, using the urban dictionary definition, "a brother don't "skeet" This would be fun listening to the black comedians get into this but they won't cause they are all racist, ie, they only look at skin color.
other then that he must have been getting the Barney Fife treatment by the SS since they were only giving him one shell at a time or it was a once in a lifetime experience for Barry Soetoro. Lets see if William B will challenge this White House "Mandate"
This article is funny if you read 'skeet' in its proper definition... http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=skeet%20skeet
definitely better now.
Here's the 'official' story. But read the comments. They read like those commenting on Baghdad Bob.
http://news.yahoo.com/white-house-releases-photo-obama-firing-gun-162849...
That photo release backfired.
If there were small holes to relieve gas to reduce recoil and muzzle jump, as some NYTimes posters are claiming in order to rebut the charge the pic is fake, wouldn't we see smoke coming from those holes, or is that the smoke that seems to be coming out at a rt angle?
trap shooting is preferred by hunters, while skeet shooting is a bit geeky. my uncle had a case full of trophies, but he caught a face full of birdshot from the fellow he was with while in the field. skeet shooting trains the shooter to react quickly, and while shooting on the range you are always clear, in the field you can very easily swing on the fellow next to you [see dick cheney] still one or both of them are olympic sports? either way i don't think skeet shooting is a good way to train hunters.
Real shotgunners shoot sporting clays...with max+ re-loads. Or so I am told by my son.
And you would think our tax dollars coulda afforded him a Citori over-under skeet gun.
I once saw a guy shoot 25/25 with a 410.
Perf with a 410 - good shooter.
Damn. Using a 410 is almost like using a .22. Good shooting indeed.
Here was a pretty cool video by some way up north Minnesotians (Norwegian Americans) why shotguns are more dangerous than AR15s.
The company has food stores and outdoor world type of stores up there. They also make some very nice AR15's with a funny Norwegian name.

It was response to some jack ass Dem congressman in Minnesota running ads as a duck hunter.
Here is the company in MN making AR 15.s Huldra.

“while shooting on the range you are always clear,”..
except if you are conducting “shooting therapy” with a diagnosed mentally ill person.
That might not be such a great idea.
fat finger......
Eats, shoots and lies, just like the classic usage sentence says. He leaves no lie unsaid!
Is this O's Jimmy Carter killer rabbit moment? could be!
Killer-rabit moment?
Nyet, tovarich, that was saved for the Scott Pelley interview today.

Eats, shoots and lies
Good thing I was reading the thread before I asked if Obama knew any Panda Bears...
Be safe out there, Banzai. We wouldn't want you winding up in GITMO or "droned" now would we?
Shouldn't this read; "Guano a Mano" ?
"Yes," Obama says, "in fact, up at Camp David, we do skeet shooting all the time. I have a profound respect for the traditions of skeet shooting that trace back in this country for generations. The American Revolutionary War against King George III was fought to preserve the Colonists right to shoot skeet. First, the King imposed a tax on skeet. In 1773 the Colonists protested by throwing three shiploads of taxed skeets into Boston Harbor, and proclaimed "No taxation without representation".
"On April 18, 1775 Paul Revere on his midnight ride warned the Colonists that the British were coming to take their skeet. On April 19, 1775 as British troops were marching by Lexington and Concord, the Colonists thumbed their noses at the troops by holding a skeet shooting contest, with First Prize being a turkey named King George.
"The Second Amendment and victory in American Revolutionary War gave Americans the right to own skeet. Rest assured, as President I will do nothing to diminish that right."

Don't get yourself in trouble with the Whitehouse Mr. B.
An “odd” official photo of President Barack Obama shooting clay pigeons during a visit to Camp David has finally been published by the White House, but it comes with the administration’s typical copyright caveat: Don’t Photoshop it.
Read more: http://dailycaller.com/2013/02/03/white-house-dont-photoshop-obama-skeet-shooting-picture/#ixzz2JpGIP8lfActually Mr Banzai has read the White House caveat which is completely inconsistent with the copyright designation they chose under Flickr which specifically says derivative works (e.g. parodies) are allowed.
dat'z some SMOKE!
"Back in the day at Columbia, I was a member of the Choomatarian Liberation Front and known by my nom de guerre, General Cinq-O."
Get it?... Sink-hole.
ah ha ha ha ... effing brilliant!
Out of the fucking park, Banzai!
Mind if I post it elsewhere?
Feel free
Just went out to 50 people, f'n brilliant!
LOL... I wake up to this. Obozo, the gift that just keep giving!
WB7 you are legend!
Out of the Choomwagon into the Fire!
You didn't photochop this
I didn't PS the Prez. But, if I really felt like it, I would have. Not necessary to PS this Pic. It says all that I want it to say, just like it is.
