To skeet, or not to skeet, that is the question.

David Hardy has some questions: Photo of President Obama shooting

No muzzle flash, no gas from the left hand ports.

Shopped. Poorly.

For what it's worth, I think the WH Obama skeet picture was taken at the Camp David skeet range. The road behind him in the WH photo is clearly asphalt and forms a "T" intersection, just like the access road on the right of the aerial photo at the link. At the extreme right edge of the WH photo, behind Obama's head, you can see what appears to be the corner of the right throwing tower. It appears he was standing in the grass, in front of the semi-circle shooting stations shooting out, with the access road and right throwing tower to his right and behind him.

God forbid I find myself defending ANYTHING this administration does but, it is possible that the photo was taken at the skeet range at Camp David. Contrary to what Mr. Hardy's post states, if you take a look at the satellite image an argument can be made that it was indeed taken there. Now, that being said it looks as if he is standing forward of the line and was probably just shooting for the sake of shooting (photo-op). The driveway/road and treeline are the clue. The satellite image clearly shows the area that he appears to be standing in. The road splits and comes to an abrupt end forward of the base chord and firing stations and that is where he appears to be standing. Of course it could also depend on the angle that the photographer was standing in reference to Obama himself.

Not that whether the photo is real or photoshopped is going to change the minds of dedicated gunnies. It's an odd photo for someone supposed to be shooting skeet. You'd have a choke in the under barrel too since you need both to shoot skeet. This was just a photo op shoot, however it was done. Maybe we should be asking for a video.

Think only on what you are going to do about it. This is all distraction.
