SHARP SHOOTERS

John Wesley Hardin

James Butler Hickok a.k.a. Wild Bill Hickok

Annie Oakley (Phoebe Ann Mozee)


Buffalo Bill Cody

Today I watched a really cool show on 19th century sharp shooters. The show focused on their feats. Featuring modern day exhibitionist shooters who attempted to recreate their exploits. They were able to. My favorite act involved throwing half dollars up into the air and shooting them. One guy was able to throw up aspirins and hit them with a .22 That was amazing! If you get a chance to see the show....do it. I believe it comes on again this Friday (23rd) and Sunday (25) on the History Channel.
