On this day in 1922, Annie broke all existing records for women’s trap shooting. She smashed 98 out of 100 clay targets thrown at 16 yards while at a match at the Pinehurst Gun Club in North Carolina. She hit the first fifty, missed the 51st, then the 67th.
She immortalized on film by Barbara Stanwyck and on Broadway by Ethel Merman.
Her real name was: Phoebe Anne Oakley Mozee!!
