His stance is very common for a person who has never used a shotgun.
If the gun is his, he should contact a gunfitter if he wants to hit anything. If you look closely his eye is half an inch below the rib – in other words he won’t see [what he’s aiming at].

Amusing post…liked the tips, which I’m sure the President will take into consideration.

Serious post…good reminder that so many people don’t even know what a rifle vs. shotgun is, let alone a semi-auto vs. full auto or single shot. Keep in mind, that many readers of this site probably spend more on rings and a base than most hunters do on a scope. I’d like to see a reporter understand the difference between a G1 and G7 drag model.

A big fake….way to much smoke in the Photo Shop of him holding a shotgun!

Editor: Not necessarily. Contrast may have been enhanced a bit (common with media images) but the smoke is much more visible against a dark background. Check out this photo of Olympic Gold medalist Vince Hancock:

I’m not saying yay or nay on the Photoshop question, but in reviewing Olympic shooting coverage I literally viewed over 800 trap and skeet photos, and its not uncommon to see very visible smoke, if the photo is timed at the right moment, and the background is dark.

I think the photographer captured a great action picture of the President shooting.

Leave the Pres. alone. He’s just doing what he has to do, i.e.; inviting the kids and families to the WH for lunch and TV time. He’s gonna let Congress do any deeds which won’t amount to anything much.
