Annie Oakley, born Phoebe Ann Mosey on August 13, 1860, in Darke County, Ohio, was an iconic American sharpshooter and exhibition shooter. Raised in poverty, she honed her shooting skills to help support her family from a young age. In 1885, she joined Buffalo Bill’s Wild West show, where she gained widespread fame for her incredible marksmanship.
Oakley’s exceptional accuracy with firearms, particularly her skill with a rifle, earned her the nickname “Little Sure Shot.” She became a trailblazer for women in the male-dominated world of shooting sports during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Her performances for Queen Victoria and other European royalty further solidified her international acclaim.
Beyond her shooting prowess, Oakley was a strong advocate for women’s rights. She believed in gender equality and encouraged women to become proficient with firearms for both sport and self-defense.

Annie Oakley’s legacy endures as an influential figure in American history, celebrated for her exceptional talents, groundbreaking achievements, and contributions to the empowerment of women.
