Annie Oakley: Rise of a Shooting Star (1x9)

:

After her father's death, nine-year-old Annie Oakley first picks up a rifle and begins shooting small game in order to feed her siblings and support her widowed mother. By her teenage years, Annie is so good at hunting that she begins supplying meat to a local grocery store, earning enough money to pay off her mother's mortgage. When famed sharpshooter Frank Butler comes to town for an exhibition, Annie accepts his challenge to participate in a shooting match. Not only does she win the match, but she wins Butler's heart as well. They are soon married, but they struggle to make it as a team on stage. A better shooter, Annie must become the main attraction for them to succeed. Years later, legendary gunfighter-turned-newspaperman Bat Masterson, tracks down Annie's husband to learn more about the rise of this shooting star.
