So was Lily a sharpshooter??


After she shot the plate during rehearsal, Doc compliments her and asks where she learned to shoot like that. She starts to say, 'Well I was....' and Billy abruptly cuts her off. I don't recall her ever mentioning anything else about her shooting skills for the rest of the movie.

Yeah, I would've bet my testicles they'd of gone back to it and had them both trick shooting at the end but whatever. Also, earlier in the movie Billy says something like "I want a girl who can shoot like Annie Oakley".

It's possible that they had Lily tell some kind of a story (about how her butler had her amuse herself by shooting clay pots at the mansion or something) but they left that scene on the cutting room floor.

If they're not going to explain how she could shoot like that or they weren't going to show her sharpshooting later, why leave the scene in at all?

Because it gave her an air of mystery that Clint must have liked.
