Media’s firearms experts confuse President Obama’s assault shotgun with rifle
“The White House photo released Saturday is dated Aug. 4, 2012, and shows Obama shooting at clay targets on the range at Camp David.
The rifle is cocked in Obama's left shoulder, his left index finger is on the trigger and smoke is coming from the barrel.”

Obama's Browning shotgun
Emily Miller
The White House released Saturday a photo of President Obama firing a shotgun at Camp David, Md. on Aug. 4, 2012.
The CEO of Browning, Travis Hall, told The Washington Times in an email that, "I am fairly sure it is a Browning Citori. Cannot tell the model from the pic but a sporting clays version."
As the president is left handed, it could be the 12 gauge Citori 625 Sporting Golden Clays, adjustable comb, left hand. It features a gold engraving of a game bird transforming into a clay target on the receiver and retails for $4,799.
Mr. Obama told New Republic this month that, "Up at Camp David, we do skeet shooting all the time."
While skeet sends the clays high into the air from positions to the left and right, the White House photo shows Mr. Obama angling the firearm directly level.
Earlier in the day on Aug. 4, Mr. Obama played a round of golf at Andrews Air Force Base.
