The lady in this is taken from reference. I don't THINK this image would ever have popped in to my head naturally.
Some time in the 1800s this handsome gal thought this would be a good photo idea and I salute her for it.
(Also, if you don't know that cowboy saying about getting off horses and drinking milk, then this will seem MENTAL. I'm telling you, this image is all completely based in fact.)
Annie Oakley was a proper bad ass sharpshooter of the late 1800's who traveled fairs as an exhibition shooter and taught the gals of the wild west how to handle a fire arm and defend themselves. Brutal times.
She offered her shooting skillz and to lead female sharpshooters in World War 1, but when she had no response she visited army camps, raised money for the Red Cross and volunteered with military charities instead.
Whatta gal.
Some fella on a horse.
