Wild West Shooting Centre West Edmonton Mall and Flora Kupsch

: As the owner of Wild West Shooting Centre at West Edmonton Mall, she surrounds herself with firearms every day, according to CBC. But it the old fashioned ones she loves. She stands five-foot-four in heels, but dominates the range, where she practices hitting targets with her six-shooters as fast as she can. Her revolvers, lever-action rifle, and shotgun transform her from a 55-year-old Filipina immigrant into the world least likely cowgirl. The sport involves sharpshooting using weapons from the old west while dressed in period costume. Flora Kupsch, 55, was once the female Canadian cowboy action shooting champion.
