Skeets?

Do Skeets hide in trees?

Thought you tried to shoot them in flight, not off your neighbors fence.

Is this real?
Taken at that exact moment shouldn't you some see some evidence of kick-back to his body? clothing, hair, belly quivering?

LoL!! My wife was the one who pointed that out to me.
She (who has only shot skeet once using a hand launcher) asked me if it was legal to shoot the skeet out of the hand that was launching them.
If so, it would be easier.

The muzzle brake is working nicely...

Its nice to know Biden has become an expert on home defense after meeting with a few liberal experts on the gun debate....

I have my own theory, I really wish there was a video of this shot, because I believe it would be priceless.

If you look at the picture, it is obviously a professional shot, taken at a very fast shutter speed, given the clarity of the shot.

Think back to your youtube videos that you have seen of idiots shooting without the gun nestled into their shoulder. If you examine Bobo's position, ( gun level, way high of his sight picture, body turned the wrong way ) I say this is a single frame as the gun is whacking him in the shoulder, which probably was followed by his wetting himself.

Definitely not a picture of a guy who has shot more than once...........

My take on that picture is a combination of "yea, right" and "ouch".

I don't do much trap shooting, but since when are skeet ranges paved?

Maybe the Government photo shopped the photo before they released it?

What am I missing here?
How do you know the clay pigeon is sitting on a fence and not in flight?
Is there more pics that I can't see?
Skeet loads don't kick much, light powder and shot charge, only 2 3/4".
Not a muzzle brake, it's a ported barrel.
I will agree he doesn't know what he's doing & the gun doesn't fit him at all.
If they photo shopped it why didn't they make it look like he had a clue?
Nice gun though.
I find it entirely believable that parts of the skeet range at Camp David are paved.

IDK. They can mess up a cheese sandwich, so that should be a piece of cake.
