She claimed to have shot a cigarette from the mouth of Kaiser Wilhelm I (before he became the German Emperor), although she did not want to do it for fear of hitting him, but he insisted to show his bravery. This story has not been proved. Regardless, she was winning shooting contests from a young age and her skill with a rifle is not in doubt. She probably used cartridges with bird shot for airborne targets, but other exhibition shooters of the time did the same.
