Homeschool junior
takes Miss Annie Oakley Title
Ira McDaniel, a 17-year-old homeschool junior, bested 10 other young
ladies for the title of Miss Annie Oakley 2017 at the 85 foot line
Thursday.
Ira looked forward to her new role for the coming year, noting she
respected Annie due to shared values and character. “I don’t really
feel any different,” she said. “I’m looking forward to representing her
the coming year.”
Following the third round on Wednesday, Cierra Miller won the Best
Costume title, with Ira taking an honorable mention. Wednesday
competition concluded at the 75-foot mark with six shooters still in
contention for the title: Ira, Nina McDaniel, Kailey Fourman, Megan
Troutwine, Hope Schaaf, and Mariah Troutwine.
On Thursday, two rounds later, Ira hit the mark at 85 feet. Kailey
Fourman finished at first runner-up and Hope Schaaf finished at second
runner-up.
Also competing in the annual Miss Annie Oakley shooting contest were
Morgan Hissong, Layla Carrington, Johnna Siegrist, Hannah Bingham and
Cierra Miller.
Following the contest, Ira, 2016 Miss Annie Oakley Katy Hurd and about
two dozen others made the annual Pilgrimage to the Annie Oakley
gravesite.
