What's wrong with this picture?
The above photo strikes me as "staged" - in the most common sense of that word's usage. From what I see, he looks like someone who has never fired a long gun of any kind in his life. His stance is not aggressive, his right hand looks awkwardly positioned, and unless he's shooting a clay 6 feet after leaving the "low house" his barrel should have more elevation. I suppose it could be because he's a leftie (in every sense of the word), and I haven't really paid any attention to the shooting styles of that many southpaws - but, his general appearance (to me, anyway) is that of someone unfamiliar with shooting a shotgun (the shotgun itself even has that wussy barrel porting). The photo looks like somebody physically (and poorly) arranged him for the photo op. Or is it just me? Pax...
