bump
Well he is not skeet shooting. He could be skoot shooting where as the prey is skooting along the ground 25 to thirty yards out! I also noted that the shot gun has no kick to it!!!
As far as the photo, I hear all kinds of stuff that I somewhat disagree with.
- He could be popping off seriously late and that could explain the near horizontal plane of the gun. I mean, he's not the fastest guy, that I'd bet on.
- The writer doesn't seem to really know what he's talking about; that smoke is quote common. It normally has a different appearance though because we don't see things in freeze-frame like a high speed shutter does.
- Although he looks rather uncomfortable and unnatural, he is a lefty. I see guys planting the stock butt much higher than that (even really seasoned shooters) and getting your cheek on the stock is proper form. This is especially true for guys who do not start from the shoulder ready position... they often "snap" the gun upwards and plant it against their cheek as they line up the shot.
Personally, I believe the guy was there shooting clays... or at least trying to and it was most likely just long enough to get in a good series of photos or appease some donor. But let's not allow that to distract from the reality of things; this guy is an anti and there is absolutely no question about it. He may not have an issue with shooting clays, but I'll guarantee he thinks you should have to leave your shotgun at the club when you leave to go home. He will never say it openly because his problem is that there are just as many democrats who are furious with these gun-grab efforts as there are republicans.
