Obama goes 'skeet shooting all the time'? Hardly ever, sources say

News of President Obama's apparently long-secret fondness for skeet shooting came as a surprise to those who say they have witnessed the president's "awkward" attempts at pinging the (clay) pigeons.

~~SNIP~~

"The only time he shot skeet was for President's Cup," said the source, referring to a shooting competition tradition involving the presidential Marine guards. "I was there. He stayed for about five minutes, and couldn't leave fast enough."

Skeet shooting "is very hard," said the source. "Especially for someone not used to guns ... He couldn't have been more uncomfortable."

We can chip in and buy SOS Kerry a pair of antlers

With all due respect to Mr. Cheney... :)

I got one of these after seeing it in a movie in the early 80's. Back then you didn't have those sissy lasers for night time skeet shooting. The B10 has an arrangement to mount a flashlight. You should have see how big the eyes on those skeets got.

So glad we have such a real “man” in charge instead of a metrosexual. Netanyahu should challenge him to a little skeet shooting competition.

Obama is a conneisseur of fine double shotguns.

I won’t spend money for antlers for Kerry.

Just give Sarah a doe permit.

He’d rather shoot Americans.

Skeeter Davis can relax now. She’s safe from Obama.

My problem at trap is the one that goes “straight away’ from any position. I still don’t know if I am over or under it. I think under. ;0)

[LachlanMinnesota]

Think like Obama. You are neither over it or under it.

You are where you are supposed to be.

It is the clay pigeon that is wrong because it is too high or too low or too fast or too slow.

OK. What is the difference between trap shooting and skeet shooting? I’ve been trap shooting before. It was fun. But have never done skeet.

Thanks for posting. Skeet looks a lot harder, or at least more complicated than trap. I didn’t realize it’s so different.
