| Never had a Red Ryder but I still use the my first .22 that belonged to my pops to slay small furry animals to this day. Almost every time I take it down I have flashback to me as a small tyke running through the bushes with my gramps old hound. The greatest time of my life and I wasn't even aware of it. On a side note one of my cousin's kids recentally had a birthday and I was forbidden from buying him an airsoft gun being the wife didn't think the boy was mature enough (i.e. he would shoot the cat or his sisters) for an airsoft . I was told that nerf guns were okay so I picked up a nerf dart gun not really paying attention to what I grabbed.Well holy shit when the boy got through the packaging what lay before him was a series ass nerf dart gun. With a mounted sight,tripod,and a spring loaded clip with realistic feeding mechanisms. I was quite simply stunned at how far the nerf gun has evolved and being really stoned thought that in the end it would have been far better for me have bought him a pellet rifle or .22 that way the boy would have been forced to learn the responspility that goes along with gun ownship instead of learning all the mechanics but with the mindset of operating a toy. The monster has a sponser indeed.

| I don't have mine anymore and don't know what happened to it. I did buy both of my boys one and they still have them. I bought them one when they graduated from kindergarden. I taught them gun safety and never had a problem with them. Of course at 5 yrs. old, I didn't let them run around with the BB gun anytime they wanted. They were supervised and I stressed gun safety everytime they got them out. They were probably safer with a gun than most adults I know. They are real good shots to this day with all types of guns. Also even in their late 20's they wouldn't even think of getting one of my guns out of the cabinet without asking me. When it came time to hunt the oldest didn't want to kill any thing and I respected that. He knew how and could if he needed too. The youngest wanted to kill eveything. He didn't see any sense of owning a gun if you couldn't kill something. He took a little talking to so he would understand you can't just kill everything for the sake of killing something. Thank God he lost his interest in guns and except for his BB gun doesn't own a gun. I think he made a good choice when he started playing guitar instead. ![]() 1Toke note: I had a bow and arrow before I got a BB gun. I guess my Dad thought that would be safer at a young age. I remember my brother and I would stand out in one of our meadows and see who could shoot an arrow the highest. We decided early in that game that it would be best to stand still after we shoot it. The odds of getting hit with the arrow would be less if we stood still and didn't run. It was a pretty stupid fuckin' game now that I think of it......... ![]() PS The youngest boys gun was the Red Ryder anniversary edition and he has had his son ( age 6 ) out shooting cans for a couple of years and gets upset when his son says "want me too shoot that chipmunk" |

| No Red Ryder here, though I often played with my father's Red Ryder which, for whatever reason, didn't work anymore. My first "real" gun was a Daisy Powerline 880, at right around 5-6 years old, if memory serves correct. That gun logged some serious milage before I wore it out. However, my true passion for all things gun-related began when I was 10, and Dad let me start shooting our various .22 rifles. By 12, I owned my first of many guns, a Marlin 881 bolt action. I still own it today, and can't see myself EVER parting with that particular gun. Its not even a "gun" to me anymore...its an extension of my arm, something that is as much a part of me as my hands or feet. Thats what happens when you put thousands upon thousands of rounds downrange....or into the heavily wooded area behind my parent's house. I used to literally use our deck as a benchrest and would shoot at least 50 rounds or more every singe day for days on end. I'd have to take a broom and sweep the piles of brass off our sidewalk. Like S&M pointed out....some of the best days of my life, and I never realized it at the time. However, my love for guns and shooting lives on, and any day I can make it to the range and get a few shots off is still a good day. I just wished it was as easy as stepping onto the deck, like it used to be. Theres DEFINITELY many things I miss about livng in the country!

| Red Ryders are Lame... OLD MAN! Just kidding. I love my first bb gun. It's daisy, though I'm not sure what model. I got it for Christmas when I was eight, and then shot myself in the hand five hours later. Of course now I've moved on to automatic airsoft rifles and the like so the traditional pump BBguns are a bit out of fashion. That said, nothing can beat the old metal-on-metal PTDUNK! sound of a bb tearing through an empty squirt can.
