I’m calling BS on the photo alleged to be of Obama shooting skeet. I see a number of problems:
(1) He’s shooting too low (unless he’s actually shooting trap, not skeet) (2) He’s holding the shotgun improperly. If he shoots a 12 gauge like that, high and on the tip of his shoulder, it would cripple his shoulder. (3) Shotgun shells are loaded with smokeless powder and don’t produce the smoke shown. Black powder might, but no one loads modern trap load shells with black powder. Also, a blank might produce that amount of visible smoke. (4) The smoke that appears to be coming out of the top of the top barrel through the “porting” is only coming out of one side. The porting on the other side is clearly seen to be producing no smoke. (5) The gun is firing but there is no recoil (“kick”) evident. A 12 gauge trap gun has considerably more recoil than many common hard-kicking high-powered rifles. (6) With this crowd, believe nothing,
