One of the episodes had Jerry Miculek teaching the competitors how to do some trick shots with a S&W revolver. I told the kids Jerry is a world-renowned speed shooter and competitor.
My oldest daughter (7) immediately spit out:
"Can he hit 10 glass balls with 5 different guns while riding a horse in 11 seconds?"
I looked over at her quizzically wondering where she pulled that out from, saying, "What?"
"Because Annie Oakley could do that."
She just finished reading a 108 page book on Annie Oakley and had been bugging me about doing some more shooting.
I recently watched an "American Experience" episode on Annie and was really impressed. She was one of the best shots ever and possibly the best.
