The reactionary photo, after everyone skeptically called BS on his claim that he goes shooting all the time, seems staged. Shooting low & poor form, etc . . . Rant Off.

looks about right to me

Don't know about this one either way.

If he says he's shot guns, but there is no photo, there is no proof.

They post the pic, then it is staged.

He can't win either way.

Staged photo.

Like Kerry walking into a general store and saying, 'I'm here to get me a huntin license' to show he's just a regular guy, Obama needed to show he's a red-blooded gun enthusiast like so many other Americans. It's all for show.

On the other hand, better to take a couple of staged shooting photos and be done with it, than accidentally nearly whacking somebody while quail hunting...

IIRC, Chaney was duck hunting...

Or was it his hunting companion forgot to duck?

Call the cops! Metrosexual with a gun!
The polls made him do it.

At 12 yo, I had much better form than that.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Vice President ****** Cheney accidentally shot and wounded a campaign contributor during a weekend quail hunt on a friend's South Texas ranch, local authorities and the vice president's office said Sunday.

http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/02/12/cheney/ 

Cheney was shooting a 2 3/4" 28 gauge Perazzi O/U with a 3/4 oz. of #7 1/2 shot load. A typical duck load would be say, a 12 gauge with 1 1/4 oz of #4 steel or alloy shot in a 3" shell. I'm thinking the guy would have had much less chance of surviving being shot in the upper torso at the same distance, supposedly about 30 yards, with what is a much heavier duck load.

Anyway, I'd say the real moral of the story is...whenever you are shooting any kind of gun, be really f-ing careful.

It would have looked better if it was a 9mm held sideways.

BANG!

I read at a different website, this was taken in December on a Friday in a small town in CT as step one in getting guns out of America. THe quote was something like ..... Breaking eggs to make omlettes.

What da! [jester]

He's from Chicago!!! He has his friends hold his guns for him.
Would have been better if the dunce shot himself. Can't hit any of the targets he says he's going to..

Supposedly the meta exif data shows the photo was taken on his birthday, but somewhere I also saw that the WH posted a photo of him on the golf course that day. Not sure what to make of that, though. What I am certain of is that he shoots like a girl.

You mean Annie Oakley?

[quote=Brewha]You mean Annie Oakley?[/quote]
More like Annie Potts.

just a couple of odd features of the photo

it is a shotgun, yet he is shouldering and aiming like it were a rifle
The over barrel appears to have a blank adapter attached while the under has no apparent extended choke tube installed
aiming awful low to be shootin skeet (maybe he was trying to impersonate Cheney?)

I bet Sarah Palin knows how to shoot much better than Obammy.

Obammy obviously has no experience with weapons or as an executive,
or military commander, with budgeting, etc. He sure can spend $$, though.
Just like my gf. 🤦

LMAO! Ever wonder how much that cost him?
And, WTF was a VP doing walking around in fields/brush with a group of guys who have shotguns? Secret service couldn't have stopped any of them from blowing his head off...
