Dad spent quite a lot of time with me teaching me gun safety

Dad spent quite a lot of time with me teaching me gun safety with this gun. Behind our house was woods (more on that later) so I could shoot into the woods with impunity. I could NOT shoot other people or toward any houses. I pretty much wore this BB gun out and two or three years later I got a Daisy pump action bb gun.

More accurate and powerful, this was a really good bb gun and I really loved playing with it. I shot it so much that the sear (the part of the trigger that releases the firing action) was worn to the point that I could just shoot by working the pump action. I bet there are 20 pounds of bb’s in the back yard and woods behind the Idylwood house.
