I used to shoot competitive Trap and did a bit of skeet and sporting clays shooting. My wife did a lot of score keeping. I showed her the picture of Obama posing with a shotgun while he squeezed the trigger and asked her what she thought.

She is still laughing... My gosh, if you are pretending to shoot skeet, at least look like it.

Oh so true, but this was clearly an unforced error on a subject they could and should have stayed a continent away from.

he does skeet really well. I wonder if he has ever done trap or done hunting? Maybe he should do some dove hunting

[Mark Rippetoe]

Yes, he's probably a very good trap hunter.
