Little Sure Shot: The Incredible Life of Annie Oakley

Annie Oakley grew up in a hunting family, with her father as her most significant influence. She eagerly joined him on hunting trips, becoming comfortable with firearms early on. She made her first kill at just eight—a perfect headshot on a squirrel using her father’s rifle.

Annie’s passion for shooting extended beyond personal skill; she believed all women should know how to use a gun. Over her lifetime, she trained 15,000 women, saying, “Every woman should handle guns as naturally as babies.”
