Annie Oakley (August 13, 1860 – November 3, 1926), born Phoebe Ann Moses,[1][2][3] was an American sharpshooter and exhibition shooter. Oakley's amazing talent[4] and timely rise to fame[5] led to a starring role in Buffalo Bill's Wild West show, which propelled her to become the first American female superstar.
Oakley's perhaps most famous trick is being able to repeatedly split a playing card, edge-on, and put several more holes in it before it could touch the ground, while using a .22 caliber rifle, at 90 feet.[6][7]http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/films/oakley/player/
