Skeet Stuff

 I kinda looked over the newly released photo of the President in his moment of skeet shooting.  It's a fine photo, I must admit.

He is wearing all the safety gear required....glasses and ear protection.

For a minute, I felt relieved.

Then I sat there....having shot skeet only once in my life, and remember this odd thing about skeet, it's usually a clay plate on the rise....going up.

I looked around and found this example here in the second photo.  Your gun ought to be about twenty degrees on the rise....if you were actually shooting skeet.

Now, I sure wouldn't want to deem myself as an authority, and maybe some folks would just correct me if I deserved it.  But it'd seem like he's shooting level and straight....like at some paper target on a wall or something....NOT skeet though.

Course, I'd have to admit that none of the guys who do press management for the White House....probably have ever shot a shotgun, and most think skeet are little fluffy birds that you buy at Wal-Mart for target practice.

Just my two cents.
