No skeet shooter would have the gun level. You want to hit the birds mid field which puts the clay about 15ft up. I don't know anyone who is 15ft tall.
A level shot is theoretically possible from the #7 low house, but no skeet shooter would try that. 7 low is know as the "beer shot" it is the easiest shot i a round, you point the gun up (angle varies by shooter height) and the clay flies into your field of view:
A level shot is also theoretically possible on the #8 low house (most difficult shot of the round), but for a 6ft tall guy to make that shot he would bave about 1/10th of a second to do so. The human eye can' fins the clay that quick. No skeet shooter would put themselves in such a disadvantaged shooting position. The bird is coming towards the shooter from 3 1/2 feet up, traveling 55fps and the shot must be made before the bird goes 18 1/2 feet (distance) and 15ft elevation (at which point the gun would be vertical). A further problem here is Obama is left handed. This is a disadvantage for the #8 low house. As the bird flies toward he shooter, the gun naturally wants to break away from the shooters cheek. thus a lefty can very much not afford to get behind the bird out of the house, meaning the gun would never be level.

ive done a couple competitions for different charity benefits and both times there was a station that had the clay pitched on the ground and it rolled real fast from side to side, bouncing occassionally on rocks or whatever.. like a rabbit.. sucker was FAST too.!!
is this not typical skeet?

Been Called "Flash" Since I Was A Kid!
If I had to choose just ONE gun, it would be a shotgun! I started reloading for shotguns in the late 60's and have fired countless rounds. That being said, why has no one said something about Obama and recoil? If the picture shows the moment of ignition, then why isn't he showing the effects of recoil? The pic may have been taken showing Obama with a cheekweld on the shotgun then it was enhanced to show the smoke.
Regardless, it's just one more thing we can't believe about the POTUS.

Doesn't it seem fitting though?
It appears to be a Browning Citori, made for Browning in Japan. Very good shotgun. The cheapest are around $2,500 and the custom models can go for over $5,000.
Not skeet at all. Skeet is the name of a particular sport or game. Calling that skeet would be like calling Monopoly Trivial Pursuit.
I was going for a couple of board games (markers, dice, cards, etc.), but yours works, too.
