Apparently Thomas Jefferson thought that shooting was a great exercise and, to be fair, I've never seen an obese shooter at the trap and skeet range (at least none I can remember). How about you?

Do you think President Obama would make it part of a National Physical Fitness Program?

You need to spend some time in Alabama and you'll lose the "All shooters are skinny" ideology! WOW!!

No, I don't consider shooting "exercise" - BUT - anything that gets a person out of the house and off their ass is a GOOD thing.

That's a good point captain. Some people are truly lazy, no matter what. I even find lazy people in my gym all the time working hard to find a way to not work so hard, it's all motivation. I can tell you there are definitely ways to make shooting training into a workout though.

I love shooting,and I think it could definitely be done in a way in which you are physically active, go for it! But no, I don't think obummer would enjoy seeing more well trained American citizens...

Guess I'm immune to the weight loss part. No amount of shooting has helped. That extends to reloading as well. Don't lose much sitting at the bullet casting furnace. Would say Cowboy Action Shooting gets the heart pumping.
