Gloria Jacobs
Toronto Daily Star, August 23 1937
Gloria Jacobs got even better at shooting a little later on: in December 1939, she set a world record by hitting 299 out of 300 targets on a 30-shot course at Camp Perry. She compiled a total of 13 shooting world records in her career.
I found these links, among others:
- Film footage of her from early in 1940.
- A long article on her that appeared in American Rifleman magazine in 1949.
- Her obituary: she became Gloria Jacobs Norton and passed away in 2011 at the age of 88.
