Squirrels worst nightmare

Annie Oakley began shooting at the age eight, practicing with a loaded rifle from the house on an unfortunate squirrel who happened to be on the front fence. She cleanly disappeared the squirrels head saving the meat for squirrel stew. As she grew older news of her skills traveled and a local man set up a thanksgiving competition between her and a traveling professional marksman. The young Annie won the competition by one pigeon. Annie and the marksman stayed in contact and were later married. Together they joined the wild west show, becoming one of the favorite acts. Oakley would shoot a cigarette out of her husbands mouth or a dime out of his fingers. Her most famous act became shooting holes in playing cards. Although Annie was an amazing shot, a skill considered very manly, she enjoyed being feminine and dressing in dresses.
