Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said Friday that she has some personal gun-shooting experience in her background.

“I’m not against guns. My dad taught me to shoot when I was a little girl,” Clinton said at a campaign stop in Keene, New Hampshire.

“I’ve even gone duck hunting in Arkansas, standing in the cold water at sunrise,” Clinton added. “Once was enough.”

Clinton previously told the story during her 2008 campaign against then-Senator Barack Obama, who attacked her as a wannabe Annie Oakley.

Clinton gained traction in her debate this week by accusing her opponent Sen. Bernie Sanders of being weak on the issue of gun control.

“We have to look at the fact that we lose ninety people a day from gun violence. This has gone on too long, and it’s time the entire country stood up against the NRA,” Clinton said in the CNN debate.
