I don't know about you, but I have not seen to many shooting skeet almost parallel to the ground.

The answer's simple: he's firing upon protestors! :)

I find it so hilarious that this picture surfaced in the timely matter it did, as if to say, "See, America, I do in fact care about gun rights." Government is shameless in it's manipulation of the masses, man...

We love to target practice. I think he looks like he is having a good time.

I think those dark glasses are to hide his Lizard People eyes.

And doesn't that watch have a commie symbol on it?

You people are f-ing HILARIOUS.

Notice, it doesn't look like he has depressed the trigger, also there does not seem to be any kick????
Just looks weird.... timing was great though.

It would appear that the thing righties find wrong with this picture is that a black guy has a gun.

Less than Reagan actually thinking and saying he served in eastern europe at the end of WWII and seeing the concentration camps and saying that's what made him so pro Israel when Reagan never got closer than Hollywwood.

Don't know if you know much about skeet shooting, but most shoot 'up' into the air to hit the target. And look closely, the trigger hasn't been pulled.

That's because the picture was snapped AFTER he pulled the trigger. Or is the photographer your cousin now?

reply
zbacku to unclepat 2013/02/04 17:49:39

It is physically impossible for the trigger to get back into position before the bullet leaves the barrel of the gun.

reply
unclepat to zbacku 2013/02/06 00:36:32

And who says the bullet hasn't already left and what you've got is the tail end of the smoke discharge. C'mon now....Monk or Quincy, you ain't. Give it a break already!

It is an air soft look at the end of the barrel it has a red tip.
It was CO2 that you see coming out the side.

if people keep shooting skeet, won't they become endangered?

I cant see the houses.. ever think maybe he is shooting trap and the freaking media doesnt know the difference?? Also if one is shooting from the number 7 position,, the first shot from the low house is a lower shot...The concrete in the one picture indicates the 16 yard line on a trap field....

If you miss the first shot and the pigeon gets closer to the ground it's kind of stupid to shoot high and hope the pellets fall down and hit the target...I suppose he COULD use a mortar...

What's he using black powder, no visible recoil, what about the port on the left. Another Obama lie, but that 's what he's know for.

reply
Ron in ... to none 2013/02/03 15:13:18

Since he is a true lefty it is on his right.

none to Ron in ... 2013/02/03 15:26:22

There aren't left or right over and unders since everything ejects from the rear, and there are ports on BOTH sides anyway.

First: is he left-handed? That's a left-handed stance--or maybe someone reversed the image.

Second: why is he shooting almost level? That's a stance for shooting at a stationary target, or *maybe* for trap shooting. (I've been on a trap and skeet range.)

Third: what's with the smoke coming out of the side of the barrel?

I smell Photoshop, sportsfans.
