Answer
A train wreck in 1901 left her with a permanently crippled right leg and forced Annie Oakley to adjust her performance. Rather than performing her usual sharpshooting stunts, she began participating in less physically strenuous acts, such as trick shooting and re-enactments of Wild West scenes, which allowed her to continue showcasing her remarkable marksmanship despite her injury.
