Guns of our youth.

[Septicdeath]

For most of us the Red Ryder was our first airgun. today we examine and shoot a vintage Red Ryder made in 1954 or 1955. Always a fun little gun to shoot. I will be shooting it from 25 feet on paper. ,

My first non-handmedown airgun was a Daisy 840 followed quickly by a Crosman 760 and 1377. My son started off with a Daisy Model 10 and then progressed to a Daisy 880. My daughter has a pink Red Ryder.

My dad never got me a rifle growing up. My brother got two rifles. But what he didn't get was use of my dad's. I did, he didn't, so everyone my dad owned was mine too. 20 ga shotgun from Wards, 22 Stevens were the main ones I used. My brother was the wrecker of things not his own, I was the fixer of things. Hence the difference. My brother no longer wrecks things, but I still get to share my dad's collection, him not so much. I always thought that Wards shotgun was so cool because of its adjustable choke.

I got my first BB rifle at a yard sale.
I don't know what make or model it was, as I didn't know how to read yet.
I made the usual mistakes with it, like shooting a songbird with it and then having to watch it die and smacking my hand with the cocking lever when I pulled the trigger while the action was still open.
Dad took it away from me after I shot my older sister in the rump. She had just tried to kill me (again) by trying to push me into the flooded basement hole next door to us - we were living in a ghost town in southern Oregon at the time... .
