More about my RedRyder carbine........

[Bob Wright]

I got pretty good with my Daisy Red Ryder BB gun, the one of my Christmas Story. I had a friend toss up one of those old one pound coffee tins, the ones with the key to peel off the strip closure, and I could plink (actually "tink!" was the sound) that thing nine times out of ten. I could knock down a row of burnt matchsticks stuck up in the ground.

Once, on a summer day, I was in the yard when a fly landed on the door facing. I shouldered that Daisy and snapped off a shot. There was a small dent in the wood of the door facing with a smudge of gore and a leg from tha fly left to prove I had hit it. BUT ther wasa ding in the door facing which had to go unsung as to my skill.

For a while while sitting up with my father at night a mouse would come out run half way across the shelf beside the TV stop and look at us and then keep going. One night I sat there with my Crossman BB pistol and when the little bugger stopped to look I popped him right between the eyes... he kind of fell back shook his head and took the heck off at a high speed... was not a CO2 but one of those that propelled the BB with a spring and a rod I think. But never did see the mouse again, I think he decided to move on.
