Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wing and Glass-Ball Shooting With a Rifle The question is often asked, What is necessary to become a wing-shot with a rifle? I think I can answer that question with one word: practice; and not so much of that as some people think. When Dr. Carver first came before the public, even some of the best riflemen of the West thought that he was specially gifted, and two of the best shuts on the Pacific coast talked the matter over and concluded that it wasn't worth their whole to try it. Afterward, they decided to see what they could do, and did a little practicing, all alone, where no one could see them, and to their infinite surprise they found that they could, with a little practice, do nearly everything that Career claimed to do. The first thing that led the author to try it was seeing a boy, about sixteen years old, shooting in a gallery at a swinging target. He did so well that, after he went out, the gallery-man was asked How long has he been practicing? and the answer, Only about six weeks set me to thinking. I had never been a good shot with a rifle; I had always believed the old fogy doctrine that to be a good rifle shot a man must have loss of nerve, as it is called; or, in other words, to come nearer the truth, he must not have any nerve, and must be able to hold the sights of his rifle aligned on an object for several seconds without a tremor. This I had never been able to do; and as I had owned a rifle ever since my by hood days, and fired a good many pounds of lead and powder away without any very flattering results, I had about given it up, and turned my attention to a shot-gun as the only weapon that I felt sure of hitting anything smaller than a barn-door with, until I saw this young fellow handle a gun. Then I took courage, turned over a new leaf, throw away all the old traditions about rifle-shooting that 1 had ever heard, and went to work to see form self if a man who was nervous and had no special qualifications could ever make a respectable score. The result has more than satisfied me, for while I never expect to become a celebrated shot, it his proved to my entire satisfaction and to many others of my acquaintance that there is no particular gift required to shoot well.

Download or read book America s Best Female Sharpshooter written by Julia Bricklin and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, most remember “California Girl” Lillian Frances Smith (1871–1930) as Annie Oakley’s chief competitor in the small world of the Wild West shows’ female shooters. But the two women were quite different: Oakley’s conservative “prairie beauty” persona clashed with Smith’s tendency to wear flashy clothes and keep company with the cowboys and American Indians she performed with. This lively first biography chronicles the Wild West showbiz life that Smith led and explores the talents that made her a star. Drawing on family records, press accounts, interviews, and numerous other sources, historian Julia Bricklin peels away the myths that enshroud Smith’s fifty-year career. Known as “The California Huntress” before she was ten years old, Smith was a professional sharpshooter by the time she reached her teens, shooting targets from the back of a galloping horse in Buffalo Bill Cody’s Wild West. Not only did Cody offer $10,000 to anyone who could beat her, but he gave her top billing, setting the stage for her rivalry with Annie Oakley. Being the best female sharpshooter in the United States was not enough, however, to differentiate Lillian Smith from Oakley and a growing number of ladylike cowgirls. So Smith reinvented herself as “Princess Wenona,” a Sioux with a violent and romantic past. Performing with Cody and other showmen such as Pawnee Bill and the Miller brothers, Smith led a tumultuous private life, eventually taking up the shield of a forged Indian persona. The morals of the time encouraged public criticism of Smith’s lack of Victorian femininity, and the press’s tendency to play up her rivalry with Oakley eventually overshadowed Smith’s own legacy. In the end, as author Julia Bricklin shows, Smith cared more about living her life on her own terms than about her public image. Unlike her competitors who shot to make a living, Lillian Smith lived to shoot.
