Her passion for shotgun shooting is so strong that according to reports, 82-year-old granny, Rita Roherty, won a bronze medal less than a year after she underwent triple bypass surgery. Roherty hit 91 of 100 clay pigeons to take third place in the women's shooting division of the Badger State Games in June.

"When a gun fits you, it don't kick," she said to the Janesville Gazette in reference to one of her pet Browning Lightning 12-gauge over-under shotguns.

According to the report, Roherty, born Rita McAuliffe in 1923, had 14 children in 28 years of marriage before her husband, Donald Glynn, died.

Then she met George Roherty, who took her trap shooting on the couple's first date in 1973.

"It was a very good couples' thing to do," she said to the news agency.

Roherty says she shoots because she likes competing. She recalled, to the Gazette, that three years earlier she won her gold medal in shooting, after she hit enough clay pigeons to tie a woman half her age, followed by a tiebreaker in which she hit all 10 pigeons.

She also tells the Gazette that she intends to keep shooting as long as she can still hold the gun, and she'll take on men as well as women.
