	I am proud to say that I have coached several young ladies over the years in the Junor Program that are were able to beat the boys. Several have shot in the Junior Olympics have proved Annie's statement. Some of them are still doing shooting now and still beating the boys. ron .

	That Tip-up receiver, stocked for a pistol grip, looks like a snake swallowed a gopher.....there’s a lot going on there. It sure looks like it would be comfortable shooting offhand though.

That's probably because women tend to be better at listening and taking instruction.

	Normally, buyers of Stevens tip-up rifles who wanted a pistol grip made do with the stock trigger guard that had a pistol-grip-shaped rear extension. Oakley's rifle is only the second I've seen in 50+ years of collecting that had an actual pistol-grip stock. The other had a different checking pattern in the grip area and a left-hand cheek piece to boot. The then-owner also thoughtfully provided a disassembled view which showed that the lower tang and the trigger guard had to be shortened to accommodate the pistol grip. The work was certainly of factory quality. Another collector claimed to have seen a Stevens - or was it a Maynard? - where the lower tang was left full-length and actually pierced the pistol grip; he thought it was in one of Grant's books.

	I think the tip up that Annie is holding is a ladies model with special order pistol grip and shotgun buttplate. It’s hard to tell the size of the rifle in the picture, but it looks smaller than a full size tip up.

	Bill Mass.Arms built the Maynard #16 pistol grip stocks, with the full length lower tang, piercing the pistol grip. Otto

	Yes, there is pictures of a pistol grip tip up in Grant’s Boys Rifle and More Single Shot book, which has a full length lower tang that goes through the pistol grip.

	Sure Shot, are the tip-ups in Grant's books Maynards or Stevens? Thanks. Bill Lawrence

	In her shooting exhibitions there were a lot of tricks. Such as using shot in rifles to shoot glass balls. She was a great trick shot. Have my doubts those are her own words in the quote. Sounds like a modern statement.

Bill Lawrence Stevens, in Grant’s book there is three pistol grip Stevens tip ups pictured. The example with the lower tang mortised through the pistol grip has the larger shotgun size frame, is in .32-35, and the serial number is 32075. The other two tip ups, one is in .25-20 ss, and the other rifle, Grant mentions that it may not have a factory pistol grip stock, I believe he’s probably correct. There are no pictures of the lower tang on the other two rifles.

	Cody was known to regularly use shot-filled cartridges in his shooting exhibitions. But reputedly Oakley did not, at least when she was younger and shooting outdoors. Also, I knew a fellow who had seen the Toepperweins shoot, had "liberated" some of their targets (one of which is in my collection), and swore they did not use shot in their rifles and pistols. Since he had been an enthusiastic and very good trap shooter in the '20s and '30s, that only added to his believability, at least for me. Bill Lawrence
