I love it when PBS puts some outstanding work out there. For example, placing target shooting, and marksmanship in a positive light.

The one and only Annie Oakley, on American Experience:

Related, Annie Oakley on History Detectives:

1. Pfhhh...

Bunch of right wing, domestic terrorist assholes.

Why would anyone need to be that accurate with a gun?

Why would you need to train to physically exert yourself, then shoot something with a gun?

Running down and killing teenagers perhaps?

Disgusting.

I wish we had a steel match somewhere locally, but the closest is 147 miles from here.
