I'm Annie Oakley, a.k.a. Phoebe Moses. I was born in a cabin, way out in the boondocks of Darke County, OH, long before the internet was even imagined. I still have living relatives in the area. Every year, they celebrate my life and my accomplishments. I was married to Frank Butler and I was a way better shot than he ever was. I started shooting when I was very young. My dad taught me how to shoot and then I did it all the time after he died. Someone had to kill the animals so we could eat. I was told that I was an excellent shot and that the animals I killed very rarely had any left over shot in them. So I guess I was pretty good. People made a huge fuss over me. Not that I wanted it, but it was a livelihood. I enjoyed my time with Frank in the Wild Buffalo Bill show. I got to meet a lot of very interesting people and perform for some of the world's most influential leaders. I died at the age of 66 in Greenville, OH. I'm buried just north of there near Brock, OH. Come visit me sometime. I like to know that I'm still remembered. And for all of you impersonators out there, I'm the real Annie Oakley that was able to shoot the heart out of the center of the Ace of Hearts. I was also able to shoot a card with the thinnest part of it towards me and then was able to shoot the same card five to six times more before it hit the ground. I could split bullets on a knife. I could stand on the back of a horse and still hit my target. I could use every bullet in my gun and hit one target for each bullet every time. I could shoot the ashes off the tip of a lit cigarette. I'm the Annie Oakley that you all wish you could be, but there was and will ever only be just me. Don't make me mad, I'm good with a gun.
