Kirsten Weiss trick shot Annie Oakley NRA All access

Talented sharpshooter Kirsten Joy Weiss is featured in an episode of NRA All Access.

Kirsten tells us: “A lot of people don’t think of shooting as a sport, but it absolutely is, and I would even go so far as to say that it is an art form.” We don’t know if this is art, sport, or magic, but very few shooters have the skill or flexibility to make this upside-down shot…
