I like it.
Thanks for posting.

To be perfectly forthright a man doing what she was doing would be performing parlor tricks, too. She, like Buffalo Bill, was a stunt shooter. Nothing at all wrong with that, and the double-standard was sexist and real, but there is that reality behind it that does bear pointing out.

"Oakley's perhaps most famous trick is being able to repeatedly split a playing card, edge-on, and put several more holes in it before it could touch the ground, while using a .22 caliber rifle, at 90 feet."

Holy christ...
