White House releases photo of Obama shooting at Camp David

Well... I looked at this picture and what did I see?


The caption says Obama shooting skeet at Camp David on August 4, 2012.  So what's wrong with it? I can see three things.

1) In skeet shooting the targets are thrown high into the air.  Obama is firing this gun level to the ground.  That makes about as much sense as Obamacare.  Note that Obama is standing straight rather than leaning into the target.  He is off balance and has no idea how to shoulder that weapon.

2) The gun is smoking.  Modern ammunition is loaded with "Smokeless Powder" invented in 1884.  It became the standard for ammunition during the 1890's. Only black powder smokes.  So why is this gun smoking as it is fired?

3)  Another oddity is there are two puffs of smoke. One comes from the barrel as you would expect. But there is a second shooting off are right angles at a place a few inches from the muzzle. Can anyone explain that extra puff of smoke?

The only possibility is this picture is both faked and photoshoped to cover a error Obama made when he told the press he went Skeet Shooting "all the time."
