The Annie Oakley Center Foundation is a non-profit promoting Oakley’s memory. This FAQ page is actually an Annie Oakley biography in a Q&A format. “How did Annie start shooting?

At about age seven, she tried using the old muzzle-loading gun that had belonged to her father in hopes of bagging even more game.”
